IN oRBit: A TOWN LOUSY WITH SCROOGES

Scrooge

To be sure, his annual arrival on the cultural scene is as reliable as the post-Thanksgiving markdown. But rarely have we seen old Ebenezer Scrooge quite so ubiquitous.

The next few days will see not one, not two, but three different theatrical takes on Dickens’ A Christmas Carol — each radically different from the others, and all of them in Asbury Park.

Today’s edition of Red Bank oRBit drops in for a peek at each, including a one-man effort starring Greg Oliver Bodine, above, and the ReVision Theatre Company’s ‘Scooge in Rouge,’ which features co-authored by a seven-foot-tall drag performer who goes by the name Varla Jean Merman.

You can’t make this stuff up, and you’ll find it only at Red Bank oRBit.
