Community Christmas Show in Rehearsal at Aberystwyth Arts Centre |
Aberystwyth Arts Centre Community Theatre Company is presenting a Christmas musical The Little Match Girl this December. The show uses a combination of song, dance and moving, uplifting story telling to create a seasonal mood in the run up to festivities. The community cast is made up of over forty children, teenagers and adults.The Little Match Girl is a wonderful musical play, set in London at Christmas 1880. It is about a poor girl selling matches in cold London streets and her friends, the young servant Arthur and the kind, wealthy young girl, Charlotte. Her father, Jebb is cruel, forcing her to work long hours. She moves through the streets, lighting matches to keep warm, and then, through the flames, witnessing magical images and experiencing moments of real joy and happiness. There is music, drama, song – including the seasonal classic ‘Mistletoe and Wine’ and dreamlike sequences, with comedy and social comment in equal measure. Director Barbara Hogger comments; ‘The cast have been working hard in rehearsals since September. The children and young people have created wonderful performances. That is what is great about Community Theatre – all ages get a chance to participate and produce something by the community for the community. We have a very special show!’ The Little Match Girl is on at the Arts Centre from 21 -23 December. Tickets are available from the Box Office on 01970 62 32 32 or online at www.aberystwythartscentre.co.uk |
