Eb Scrooge Opens Friday

"Eb Scrooge a Southern Fried Christmas Carol" opens Friday December 19th at Willow Leaves of Hope.  Directed by Pete Law and produced by Naomi Fleetwood-Pyle, the duo continue their winning streak of southern themed comedies.  The production is presented by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc.  Lead Jason Bowser is looking forward to bringing Scrooge to life. He shared, "I’m excited because I think he represents us. He looks back on his life and sees so many mistakes. Then, he has the chance to redeem himself and it shows it’s never to late to change and to help those around him. I also love the range you get to play. You have to go from loathing and vile to loving and joyful like a light switch, which is a fascinating prospect for any actor. I think the biggest challenge is finding the right balance of emotion. You want to respect the character and not go so over the top that is comes across as campy and that’s easy to do with both extremely bitter and extremely happy. Another challenge I will have is letting this character go after the play is over. I absolutely love this character and it will be difficult to say goodbye."

Bowser also gave credit to his cast mates for putting together a wonderful show stating " The supporting actors in this production are the real stars. They have to jump in and out of different characters, sometimes within the same scene. This is difficult to do and they pull it off masterfully."
