Co-Directed and Adapted by Kate Braidwood and Andrew Phoenix Developed in Ensemble by Andrew Phoenix, Kate Braidwood, and Jessica Hickman “Fantastic, in every sense of the word.” Cincinnati Enquirer “If Pixar ever decides to go into the theatre business, they better call Wonderheads first.” Calgary Herald Praised by the CBC as “Pure magic” and the Globe and Mail as “Powerful, surprising and moving,” these acclaimed theatrical imagineers are bringing their captivating holiday masterpiece, A WONDERHEADS Christmas Carol, to the Belfry. This astonishing production features glowing ghosts, 10-foot-tall puppets, and not a word of dialogue. There are lots of treats in store for audiences as they are whisked away with Ebenezer Scrooge on his magical Christmas Eve adventure. Prepare to laugh, cry, and be utterly enchanted this holiday season! The WONDERHEADS have spent more than a decade touring the world, from Alaska to Hawaii and Shanghai to Los Angeles – to critical acclaim and sold-out audiences who describe the experience as watching animation come to life. Winners of five Critics’ Choice Awards and twelve Best of Fest awards, they step beyond words and into the hearts and imaginations of every audience member. Why I Chose This Play I saw this production a couple of years ago—and fell in love with it. A Christmas Carol is a piece that I have been intimately familiar with for over 30 years—and I was so impressed with their ability to tell this story without words. It’s a magical production—and incredibly moving. And now that the Wonderheads are a local company—I felt they belonged on our stage—and should be seen by our audiences! – Michael Shamata A WONDERHEADS Christmas Carol runs 70 minutes with no intermission. Contains brief use of fog/haze and flashing lights. Ages 7+ (some spooky moments) Belfry Theatre 1291 Gladstone Ave, Victoria, BC [email protected]
