Following the performance students are then invited to stay for a lively talkback session with members of the production’s cast and crew. Prior to The Rocky Horror Show Students Club members will be treated to a pre-show presentation featuring the production’s set and costume designer, Cory Sincennes. This club will offer a whirlwind journey through the process of creating a set and costume design for a large scale show, and draw from the rich collection of sketches, models and costume mock-ups developed along the way. With Cory as guide, Club members will follow the visual world of Rocky Horror as it evolves from earliest conception to final completion.

THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW 31

When he returned to England, he threw himself with all the force of his awesome intellect and personality, into amateur theatrics. His publisher, who wanted more books, was horrified. His friends were horrified. “It is a substitution of lower for higher aims,” sniffed one. Apparently not needing the amount of sleep others did he continued to write his voluminous books.

Dickens feverishly attended to the smallest detail in backstage management. He was actor, stage manager, designed and moved sets, assisted carpenters, invented costumes, and devised playbills. The Dickens amateur troupe even performed twice for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Decreed the Queen, “There is not a living professional actor who could have matched Dickens.” In 1849 Dickens was disappointed with the public’s reaction to his treasured volume of A Christmas Carol. So, he decided to take advantage of his love of theatrics and perform a series of solo public readings. He made some judicious cuts, emphasizing character and humour, while jettisoning some of the social comment he thought a live crowd might find boring. The presentations may have been billed as readings but he never read – using the books on

the stand before him as a kind of dramatic prop. Often, he would extemporize entire pages. Dickens was an immediate success. Said his biographer Edgar Johnson, “It was an extraordinary exhibition of acting – without a single prop or bit of costume, by changes of voice, by gesture, by vocal expression, Dickens peopled his stage with a throng of characters.” Dickens took his act to the Americas where he was greeted by long lines around the theatre. Prospective patrons would camp out, sleeping on the sidewalk, in hopes of getting a ticket. Dickens observed to a friend, “I have read in New York city four times to 40,000 people. I am quite as well known there as in the streets of London.” He sold out everywhere making more money from the readings than he ever could for the book itself. Never forgetting his poverty ridden youth, he always made sure seats were available for working-class prices. Since then the role of Scrooge has proven to be catnip for actors – ranging from Lionel Barrymore to Jim Carrey. Two years ago after a distinguished decade, Tom Wood gave up his Scrooge in the Citadel’s A Christmas Carol. Scrooge is a tough and demanding role – not only

because of the emotional arc he goes through but physically tough. “It’s quite a challenge,” says Wood. “From the moment it starts, you are running around backstage when you are not onstage – which is most of the time. It’s really exhausting as I know from hauling my sorry ass up and down those stairs all those years.” Anointed as the new resident curmudgeon was a superlative Canadian actor with a long and distinguished curriculum vitae: Richard McMillan. “Was I trepidatious? Yes! You Bet! I have some pretty big shoes to fill,” observes McMillan. He should not have worried. His performance last year as Scrooge demonstrated again that a great actor can put an individual stamp on a role – no matter how distinguished and able his predecessor was. “A Christmas Carol is one of those absolutely perfectly crafted stories – like Cyrano. The Jekyll and Hyde metamorphosis that this character undergoes is spectacular and could be seen as unbelievable. However, through the brilliance of Charles Dickens we see Scrooge’s journey as our own human journey. We seek his redemption as well as our own. Tom (Wood – the playwright) has beautifully distilled the novel in such a way that the audience, as well as Scrooge, is carried from one emotional peak to another and is left both breathless and transformed by the play’s end.” Dickens, suffering from a lifetime of overwork and wild enthusiasms, finally began to run down. He died at the age of 58 on the 9th of June in 1870. Shortly before his death, he gave a particularly dramatic reading of Nancy’s death at the hand of Bill Sykes from Oliver Twist followed by a selection of emotionally wrenching scenes from A Christmas Carol. It was suggested that the dramatic vigour he put into the evening hastened his death a few days later. Dickens ended his reading that night with the prophetic words, “I now vanish evermore.” Well, we all know that didn’t happen. He lives on in our hearts. The Citadel’s production of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is a continuing testament to his poetic vision, artistic accomplishment, hope for a more humane world and a tribute to the theatricality he pursued his entire life. It opens in the Maclab Theatre on December 2nd.

48 THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW

November 15 - February 5, 2012

Music by Matthew Sklar Lyrics by Chad Beguelin Book by Chad Beguelin & Tim Herlihy Directed by Tim French Starring KEVIN DABBS It’s 1985 and rock star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey’s favourite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party - until his own fiancee leaves him at the altar! Shot through the heart, Robbie loses faith in marriage and becomes a bride and groom’s worst nightmare. Enter Julia, a charming waitress who wins his affection. Only trouble is, Julia is about to be married to a wall street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of the decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a brand-new score that plays homage to pop songs of the 1980’s, The Wedding Singer takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer just might have been the coolest guy in the room.
