If you missed the free performances in Hartford, you have four more chances to see Ebeneeza, but this time, it’ll cost you.
Hartbeat Ensemble’s Ebeneeza is based on A Christmas Carol and set in Hartford. Instead of Tiny Tim relying on a crutch, he relies on medicine for ADHD. While being haunted, Ebeneeza’s ideas of progress are challenged as she is reminded of how far she has strayed from the ideals she once held. If you have seen this before, it is worth checking out again, as this year’s casting is better than in some past performances.
The final round of performances will be held at the Playhouse on Park in West Hartford from December 26-29, 2010. For more information, see the Hartbeat Ensemble website. The play is not appropriate for young children.
