In this episode of Curry Café, hosts Ray Gary and Rick McNamer talk with Joanne Reeves, Rene Murillo, and Jason Liddell about their ambitious rock musical production, An Xmas Carol, a bold, 21st-century adaptation of Dickens’ classic featuring Scrooge as a jaded rocker. They discuss the show’s creative origins, unique post-psychedelic rock music style, and their grassroots efforts to stage a premiere in Brookings under the direction of Jason Liddell. Their goal is to record the performance for a documentary, “Brookings to Broadway,” to attract investors and eventually bring the production to Broadway. Despite operating on a shoestring budget, the creators emphasize passion, collaboration, and the importance of supporting the arts.
We encourage anyone with differing views to participate in future Curry Café discussions. If you would like to join the panel, email contact@kciw.org or call 541-661-4098.
