Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol", is one of the most popular holiday traditions. Starring F. Murray Abraham, Timothy Hutton, Stockard Channing, James Garner, Wayne Knight, and George Wendt, this classic story comes to life at the Lyric Opera House for eight performances only, December 8-13.
"A Christmas Carol" affords the audience the opportunity to see six beloved and well-known actors on stage in a production faithful to the original Dickens story. The dramatic arc of the story--beginning with Scrooge's good early days, to becoming melancholy with his obsession of money, and finally his transition leading to a second shot at life--is one of the most satisfying in all literature. With a supporting cast of twenty-eight... lavish scenery, props and costumes....and special effects....this production of the Dickens' classic will thrill kids...and kids at heart!"

The National Enquirer Strikes (Out) Again!

This is for those who may have seen or heard about the latest fiction about Jim published in the esteemed National Enquirer. Something like "James Garner's Fight for Life" of some similar sleazy headline. Fear not, fellow Garnerphiles - it's the Enquirer's usual clap trap.

Jim is fine. In fact, he just finished doing some voice work as The Wizard in a half hour Captain Marvel show. Here is the real deal from Jim's long time assistant, Mary Ann Rea:
"There's not too much to say about the N.E. article. You can put it out on the web site - that Jim has not suffered any mini-strokes, no convulsions, none of that stuff since the stroke in May of '08. He also does not slur his words; his speech was not affected one iota by the stroke. He does use the wheelchair, if he has to walk far - his arthritis is very painful and using the wheelchair eases some of the pain."

M.A.
I guess that says it all - with many thanks to Mary Ann for providing us with the truth. Again.
