Susan Rakov is a theatrical singer-songwriter based in Santa Barbara. Her first album, To Here From There, digs into the large and small of life, from dodgeball to death to leftovers, exploring the gifts and tradeoffs of innocence, aging and love. Over Broadway-inflected folk/pop, Susan's lyrics are funny, touching, and brazenly vulnerable.

In this faithful adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic, a traveling troupe of Commedia Del Arte players recreate the Victorian World of "A Christmas Carol" on a bare stage in just one act. All of the many wonderful characters are played by only four actors with cleverness, skill, and comedy. Just as they would have done in Dickens own time the players bring their homemade costumes and props on stage with them. Sometimes frenzied but always fun this dynamic adaptation puts a fresh spin on one of our most beloved holiday stories. Fun for the whole family.
