A Christmas Carol

Chip Arnold as Ebenezer Scrooge and Nan Gurley as Ghost of Christmas Past
Nightingale Theatre
Directed by Paula Flautt
Role: Ebenezer Scrooge

“Bespectacled and dressed for most of the play in a long, white nightshirt and cap neither of which hide his wonderful facial gestures, Chip Arnold gives us a gentle, fur-lined Scrooge. He emphasizes his character’s childishness, investing Scrooge with such youthful qualities as liveliness and spunk.”

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Nightingale Theatre
Directed by Becky Clem
Produced by Chip Arnold

“Lovers, lunatics and poets provided a merry evening for theatre-goers in Nightingale Theatre’s staging of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Shakespeare’s comedy opened last night in Johnson Theatre under the pixied direction by Becky Clem that whoops the Bard’s lines into high-spirited, rowdy farce as cheerfully uninhibited as commedia dell’arte.”
