A Christmas Carol Director Notes
Photo: A Christmas Carol cast (2015) – KirkTuck.com
I visited Charles Dickens’ London home and archives while creating my adaptation of his beloved novel A Christmas Carol. Charles was one of seven children, and shortly after his twelfth birthday, his father John was sentenced to prison for failure to pay a debt. As the oldest son, Charles immediately went to work at a shoe polish factory, desperate to earn money to repay the debt. The entire Dickens family, now homeless, moved into the father’s prison cell, except Charles, who worked and slept at the factory.
of the poor, in the hope that we the reader will make positive change in our city. I have several friends who have committed themselves as foster parents or have adopted children, and I greatly admire their generous capacity for giving more of themselves than they ever imagined they were capable of, and exponentially reaping the rewards of a greater capacity to love. In honor of these families and in homage to the Dickens family, I made the Cratchits an adoptive family, welcoming any child who needs a loving home. In this home, human kindness is overflowing.
It's easy to understand how deeply this experience impacted his writing. The factory was a miserable place, and living alone there while his entire family lived in prison was more than the sensitive adolescent could bear. His depression and anxiety contributed to a sickly constitution. He never recovered from the terror of poverty, and the deprivations he endured during his family’s crisis.
In A Christmas Carol, Dickens illustrates how someone as self-serving and insensitive as Ebenezer Scrooge can be transformed into a charitable, caring, and socially-conscious, loving member of a community. The parable of Scrooge is a good reminder for all of us to spend our time wisely, to be generous stewards of our community, to celebrate the love in our family or family of choice, and rejoice in second chances to begin anew with the conviction of our heart leading the way. May this holiday ring in more love, more empathy, and more kindness!
Dickens’ novels are populated with abandoned and orphaned children. His stories foster our compassion for these children and the plight

ZACH Leadership

DAVE STEAKLEY (Producing Artistic Director) is now in his 29th season, and is dedicated to creating a theatre of, by and for Austin. Led by Dave’s vision, the creation of the Topfer Theatre came to fruition, opening in October 2012 with the acclaimed musical Ragtime. Dave is committed to a dialogue that is inclusive, because other voices and other perspectives enrich our lives, and help us to become more empathic and thoughtful people. He relishes the opportunity to engage our Central Texas region in a lively, meaningful dialogue to cultivate a greater sense of community for everyone who calls Austin home. Dave envisions ZACH as the meeting tent where our community gathers because it has investment, ownership, and representation in our creative work. With Dave as artistic leader, ZACH has produced multiple World Premieres by Terrence McNally, Anna Deavere Smith, Steven Dietz, Jaston Williams, Everett Quinton, John Walch, Allen Robertson, and The Flaming Idiots. ZACH served as the Central Texas hub of the nationwide 365 Plays/365 Days Festival by Suzan-Lori Parks. Dave created the first bilingual adaptation of Webber and Rice’s musical Jesucristo Superstar, and set The Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess in Katrina-ravaged New Orleans with a jazz/R&B reinvention, which received national acclaim from The New York Times.
Dave has directed many ZACH productions, and some favorite experiences include: The Ballad of Klook and Vinette; Notes From the Field; Sunday in the Park with George; The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time; The Great Society; All the Way; Disney's Mary Poppins; Tribes; Mothers and Sons; The Who’s Tommy; The Gospel at Colonus; Next to Normal; August: Osage County; Rent; Metamorphoses; Caroline, or Change; The Clean House; Take Me Out; Crowns; Omnium-Gatherum; Jelly’s Last Jam; The America Play; Dreamgirls; Angels in America; and the first professional repertory production of The Laramie Project, and The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later. His regional directing credits include Actors Theatre of Louisville, Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma, New Stage Theatre, American Heartland Theatre, WaterTower Theatre, and Pittsburgh’s City Theatre. He is the playwright of ZACH’s A Christmas Carol, Rockin’ Christmas Party, and Keepin’ It Weird, featured on CBS Sunday Morning, NPR, The Wall Street Journal, and American Theatre. Dave has served as a panelist for the National Endowment for the Arts, the Texas Commission on the Arts, Texas Medal of the Arts, and the National Alliance for Musical Theatre. The City of Austin Mayor declared, May 18, 2001 and October 22, 2011 as “Dave Steakley Day” on the occasion of his 10th and 20th ZACH Anniversaries. He is the recipient of the 2015 First Tee of Greater Austin Courtesy Award, the 2013 Human Rights Campaign Austin Visibility Award, 2010 Kick Ass Award, 2005 Austin Circle of Theaters’ “Outstanding Contribution to Austin Theatre” Award, eight Austin Chronicle “Best of Austin Best Stage Director” awards, the 2000 Austin Under 40 Outstanding Arts and Entertainment Award. In 2009, he was crowned Austin Dancing with the Stars Champion, and he has a cameo in Richard Linklater’s film Bernie. 52

ELISBETH CHALLENER (Managing Director) just completed her 12th year at ZACH Theatre as Managing Director, with responsibility for strategic planning, management, finances, marketing, and fundraising for the organization. Under Elisbeth’s leadership, ZACH successfully designed, built, and opened the Topfer Theatre, which has won significant awards and widespread acclaim, completing the largest capital campaign in the theatre’s history and transforming ZACH’s role in both Austin and the national theatre landscape. Other accomplishments during her dozen years at ZACH include the creation of a multi-year strategic plan that is moving the organization into the next phase of its commitment to new work, increasing revenue from ticket sales by 165%, and growing annual contributed revenue by 199%. At a time when many arts organizations in Austin and around the nation have been struggling, ZACH has grown its operating budget from $3 million to more than $10 million dollars and has operated “in the black” throughout Elisbeth’s tenure! Before moving to Austin, Elisbeth was Executive Director of Montalvo Arts Center in the San Francisco Bay Area. She led Montalvo’s growth from a small, communitybased organization into a major presenting venue and home to an internationally acclaimed Artists’ Residency Program. During nearly two decades at Montalvo, her other accomplishments included increasing ticket sales from less than $500,000 to more than $4 million, expanding the patron base from 6,000 to 80,000 and raising more than $20 million for capital projects. Earlier in her career, Elisbeth served as Administrative Director for the San Francisco Boys Chorus, Education/Outreach Director of the Fairmount Theatre of the Deaf and as department chair and faculty member of the performing arts department of The Purnell School in New Jersey. Elisbeth graduated from the Boston Conservatory of Music with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts in Drama and Musical Theatre. She attended the Harvard Business School Executive Education Program, The Center for Excellence in Nonprofit Management Leaders Institute in San Jose, California and served in leadership roles for the American Leadership Forum Silicon Valley, Saratoga Rotary Club, and the Arts Council of Silicon Valley. She has been honored by San Jose Magazine, the Austin Business Journal, and the State of California for her work in the arts. Elisbeth is the current President of the National Alliance for Musical Theatre in New York City, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to nurturing the development, production, and presentation of new and classic musicals. She has been a panelist for The Houston Arts Alliance, City of Austin, National Alliance for Musical Theatre, National Fund for New Musicals, and Theatre Communications Group. Elisbeth has always had a passion for theatre and performed for many years in summer stock, dinner theatre, and semi-professional productions on the East Coast and in California. 53

At age 27, Austin attorney Sarah Weddington won the landmark 1973 case Roe v Wade that legalized abortion, making her the youngest person to ever successfully argue a case before the Supreme Court. A national debate ensued, and a divide in America endures over this controversial issue. What most people don’t know is that after the case, Ms. Weddington and Norma McCorvey, “Jane Roe” the plaintiff, took divergent life paths that reflect this complicated polarization in our culture. Poignant, surprising, and with unexpected humor, Roe illuminates the difficult choices women make and the passion each side has for its cause.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar and his menagerie of animal friends have arrived at ZACH! Little ones will go wide-eyed with excitement as they recite along to their favorite Eric Carle classics like Brown Bear, Brown Bear, 10 Little Rubber Ducks, and The Very Lonely Firefly. Each story is brought to life by an array of faithfully recreated puppets that will enchant and engage both adults and children as they leap off the page and onto the stage.

Every Brilliant Thing February 5–March 29, 2020 | The Whisenhunt By Duncan Macmillan, with Jonny Donahoe Directed by Nat Miller Starring Martin Burke
The Sound of Music July 15–September 6, 2020 | The Topfer
A boy sets out to count his blessings one-by-one and list every single special, ordinary thing about living to lift his Mom’s spirit. The love list flourishes as he matures to adulthood, and when life deals a bitter blow, it proves valuable in ways he could never have predicted. Hilarious and uplifting, Every Brilliant Thing is an interactive, improvisational play about life, loss, and the lengths we’ll go to for the ones we love.
Music by Richard Rodgers Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II Book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse Suggested by “The Trapp Family Singers” by Maria Augusta Trapp Directed by Dave Steakley Musical Direction by Allen Robertson Choreography by Jen Young Mahlstedt

The hills are alive in this immersive re-imagining of the beloved classic! You will hear the Tony, Grammy, and Oscarwinning score presented with updated arrangements, lending a new sound to old favorites like “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” and “Climb Every Mountain.” Maria’s sunny nature and passion for music brings joy and laughter back to the Von Trapp family, and melts the Captain’s heart. Love triumphs, and light wins in the darkest of times.
Book and Music by Allen Robertson Based on the book by Eileen Spinelli Directed by Allen Robertson Musical Direction by Allen Robertson
From the Emmy Award-winning creator of The Biscuit Brothers and Tortoise and Hare comes a world premiere musical based on the beloved children’s book.
