Friends & fiddle/mandolin enthusiasts. November & December, an extremely busy time doing something I haven’t done since the 7th grade…I’m in a play…I’m not joking…

However, this time it’s professional theater @ Syracuse Stage playing “Joe the Fiddler” in their production of “A Christmas Carol”. In 7th grade, the production was “Theseus and the Minotaur”. I was the Minotaur and all’s I had to do was run around the stage with a bull mask over my head and growl…

Anyway. Syracuse Stage productions are always top notch. The cast is made up of equity actors/actresses and Syracuse University drama majors. “A Christmas Carol” is sure to get you in the Christmas spirit as well as provide you with several laughs at my expense as I’m in costume, mutton chops and all…

There are 33 show open to the public. If considering going, order fast as many shows sell out. For ticket info www.syracusestage.org. Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
