Due to popular demand, the production of Great Expectations, on the Arcadia stage of the Arden Theatre, 40 N. 2nd
Street, will be extended through December 21.
What a phenomenal production it is! With Josh Carpenter leading the cast as Pip, 5
other cast members portray 40 characters.
With a quick flick of a hat, a new coat, scarf or jacket, additional characters
are born. Dialogue flows at a swift speed between the characters, at times head
to head, at times as a Greek chorus. Gale Childs Daly has done an incredible job
of adapting the book Great Expectations
written by Charles Dickens. This show is quick paced. An extraordinarily long and
complex tale is brought to life within the confines of a single set. The stage is transformed solely by changing
props in order to change the scenes to visit 30 locations. Act now to follow
Pip and his great expectations from 1812 – 1840. For more information or tickets, call
