Award-winning musician and Berkshire resident, James Taylor, will make his theatrical debut in a Charles Dickens’ production: “A Christmas Carol”. James will appear on stage for the first time since he recorded his 2007 award-winning CD/DVD, “One Man Band”.
The singer-songwriter has played himself on several TV series episodes in recent years, and now will represent Bob Cratchit’s character in Berkshire Theatre Group's production of A Christmas Carol, to be presented at The Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, on December 17th to 30th.
Based on the Charles Dickens classic, it is the Cristmas tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, the infamous miser who is reformed and shown the error of his ways by four spirits.
Of working with James, director Eric Hill said, "It's a thrill to direct James Taylor in his theatrical debut. I know that James will bring his inherent charm and gentleness to bear in his portrayal of Bob Cratchit, a good and unpretentious man”.
