An actor may forget a line . A technician might miss a cue . A costume malfunction might happen . Or a pandemic may arrive and force you to think even more creatively about how to put on a show—particularly a show that has been running for over forty years!

I couldn’t imagine Omaha without A Christmas Carol . Pandemic or not, we had to find a way to bring this story to our community, even if it looked and sounded different than what we are used to . Enter an eight person adaptation .

Geoffrey Jones and I worked tirelessly on this new version of a favorite story . How do we give our audiences the comforts of a show they are used to seeing while keeping actors and crew members safe? We discussed a few options: a one-person cast, a three-person cast, a five-person cast, and eventually, an eight-person cast . For social distancing purposes, our backstage crew and orchestra also needed to become smaller . With a smaller crew, we couldn’t keep our entire set . What design elements and songs were absolutely essential? What could we reimagine scenically and musically this year? The OCP staff and I collaborated to bring the traditional beauty of A Christmas Carol to life, while also observing the compromises we needed to make due to the pandemic .

Our directing / choreography team, designers, cast, crew and orchestra are giving you all of their hearts to bring you this story . It has been a unique adventure—one for the OCP history books! I am so proud of their work, and honored to know and create with them .

Much like Scrooge, we have all been reminded during the past year that human connection is more important than ever . It is because of this that we honor the past, acknowledge the present and salute the future, by coming together to bring you this classic story . I hope that it will bring you some comfort and peace during the holiday season .

Much love,

Kimberly Faith Hickman Director / Artistic Director

Much like life, live theatre can throw you a few

unexpected snowballs.

A NOTE TO OUR PATRONSAround the holidays, I like to say, “It just isn’t Christmas without A Christmas Carol!” When the world shut down in March due to COVID-19, I was very naïve thinking that everything would be “back to normal” in a few months . I never dreamed that we would still be restricted by the time A Christmas Carol rolled around . If you would have told me a year ago that we would have to cancel our national tour of A Christmas Carol and that our mainstage production would be reduced to an audience capacity of 20% or less, I would have probably felt dread and despair . But because of the tenacity and innovation of the staff, the dedication and heart of our volunteers, and the support and generosity of the community, I am filled with gratitude and inspiration . The creative team of A Christmas Carol, led by Artistic Director Kimberly Faith Hickman, made a vow to bring this beloved story to the community in a safe and exciting way . They pledged to be clever and authentic . I am extremely grateful to them . I am also so grateful to the amazing cast . The energy and creativity that they’ve poured into this show is a true labor of love . What an incredible bunch .

Artistic Director Kimberly Faith Hickman is leaving OCP at the end of the year, and I am so appreciative of the commitment, creativity and hard work that she brought to our organization over the past four-and-a-half years . She elevated the Playhouse in many ways, and I consider myself privileged to have worked side-by-side with her through many ups and downs .

A new chapter in OCP history will start soon . It will be a post-COVID chapter . It will be a chapter with new artistic leadership . The chapter of 2020 is one of resiliency, innovation and growth . The chapter that follows is sure to be one of rebirth and exhilaration . I look forward to writing that chapter with all of you .

Happy holidays to you and yours! Cheers to 2021…and to the close of 2020.
