Simon and Janine are sent on an unexpected journey to the war-torn Middle East after their mother, who for years had remained silent, leaves them post-mortem letters with clues to the family's mysterious past. Their quest to unravel their origins leads them in search of a father and brother whose existence was previously unknown to them. Adapted into the Oscar-nominated film, Incendies, and translated into a dozen languages in over 100 productions worldwide, Scorched makes its West Coast debut at American Conservatory Theatre. The A.C.T. production features David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck) as bumbling notary public Alphonse Lebel, who acts as a guide to the two twins in their search. Learn More

"A Christmas Carol" is one of my favorite Chrismastime stories. I have not seen the play in years and was so glad to see tickets for the play on sale on Goldstar. My seats were great and the play was fun to watch. It was a great night out and really get me in the holiday spirit.Written on Dec 08 2010

It was a total last minute decision to attend. (3pm discount deadline) James Carpenter is an ideal Scrooge. You feel his miserly ways at the start and you rejoice in his redemption. Most other characters though don't really stand out this year other than Scrooge's housekeeper Mrs. Dilber. Still, I enjoyed it. Love how they do the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come especially! Even up in the balcony, there's not a bad seat in the house at ACT.Written on Dec 08 2010
