Majority of Americans say sharing common-sense advice makes them smarter and more successful
Majority of Americans say sharing common-sense advice makes them smarter and more successful
NEENAH, Wis. (May 10, 2005) – Underscoring the importance of sharing practical advice, eight of 10 Americans claim that exchanging common-sense information with others makes them smarter, and 68 percent believe it even makes them more successful. Indeed, a new national survey on common sense and sharing commissioned by SCOTT® Tissue and Towels finds that 99 percent consider common sense important to their everyday lives.
While Americans think common sense is important, they don't realize it can be developed. In fact, 40 percent don't believe it can be learned, and only one-in-five Americans thinks people are born with it. But Robert J. Sternberg, IBM Professor of Psychology and Education and Professor of Management at Yale University and an expert on practical intelligence, differs strongly with that view. He contends that common sense is a life skill that can be learned and improved, especially by sharing ideas and advice with others.
Dr. Sternberg, who has studied practical intelligence for more than 20 years, has completed notable research concluding that sharing advice can increase levels of common sense. "While many people believe it is a genetic trait that can't be changed, common sense, in reality, isn't something we're born with but something learn in the school of life."
Recognizing the importance of sharing ideas, the SCOTT Brand is beginning a nationwide Common Sense Tour in May 2005. The 15-city tour kicks off in New York City on May 10 and will bring residents together to share their common-sense tips and ideas. The tour will feature the House that Common Sense Built, an interactive common-sense exhibit and "think tank." In addition, SCOTT continues the year-old online Common Sense Community, at www.ScottCommonSense.com, a resource for everyday common-sense tips and information.
"Common sense is something we use every day, which is why we created the House that Common Sense Built," says Ellen Wheeler, associate director of SCOTT Tissue and Towels. "It's a place where people will give and get useful common-sense advice from across the country. As a creator of one of the most practical household products, toilet paper, this shows how SCOTT is committed to making common sense more common."
Additionally, the common-sense tips collected along the tour will go toward a great cause. SCOTT is making a $300,000 donation to Habitat for Humanity during the 2005 Common Sense Tour to help deserving communities throughout the country.
The new SCOTT survey uncovered many illuminating findings about Americans' views of common sense.
Why common sense matters
Common sense plays a major role in our everyday lives – from cleaning the house to managing finances. Ninety-nine percent of Americans say common sense is important.
Americans identify a number of challenges in managing their lives. Seventy percent report being overwhelmed by finances and 40 percent by managing a household. Nearly half of respondents say that spending time with their partners and finding personal time are challenges.
Men vs. Women
By a wide margin, Americans perceive that women are more open than men to receiving common-sense advice on a number of life topics. Four-of-five Americans say women are more open to seek advice on parenting, while only five percent think men would do the same. In addition:
– 85 percent of Americans believe that women are more open to seeking tips and practical advice on relationships with partners.
– 85 percent of Americans believe that women are more open to seeking tips and advice on raising children.
– Americans overwhelmingly see women as more likely to share advice on parenting (90%), running a household (85%) and health (80%).
– Men are perceived as more likely than women to share advice and tips on career and work (47%), financial management (46%), and purchasing new products (62%).
Common sense starts at home with mom and dad
Home is not only where the heart is. Eighty-three percent of Americans say they learned common sense growing up, primarily from their parents. A large percentage of those who learned it growing up also felt they learned it from teachers (59%) and other relatives (53%).
– About a quarter say they learned common sense from siblings (26%) and coaches (23%).
– Men are more likely to report that they learned from coaches (31%, compared to 13% of women).
Finding common sense in your community
Americans are divided on the ease of finding common sense in their communities. Only 10 percent believe that it's "very easy" to find people in their local community with whom they can share practical advice.
On the other hand, some Americans are more familiar with where they can get practical advice in their communities. For instance, according to the survey, people in Boise, Salt Lake City and San Antonio think it's easy to find people in their community with whom they can share tips. Whereas, residents of Los Angeles and Denver say it is more challenging to know who to go to in their cities.
Because most Americans aren't sure where to go in their communities for practical advice, it's no surprise they don't seek common-sense advice very often.
Common Sense Tour
That helps explain why SCOTT created the Common Sense Community in 2004, an online resource for everyday common-sense tips and information. The web site, www.ScottCommonSense.com, has become so popular that SCOTT decided to turn this "virtual" forum into reality by hitting the road with an interactive experience.
The House that Common Sense Built is a traveling home that brings the everyday common-sense solutions from the online community to life. Just like the Common Sense Community, people can discover and share useful common-sense solutions that will improve their everyday life and common sense. The House and the online community offer:
– Time-saving strategies that create room for the things you love
– Easy organizing solutions that take only 10 –minutes
– Neat and clean tips that'll save time on big cleaning tasks
–Healthful hints that improve your mind, body and soul
Inside the House that Common Sense Built, people can visit four rooms: the living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. Each room provides a sharing space where unique common-sense tips are exchanged, building and strengthening common sense across the country.

Hey All…
Thanks for visiting my News page!
I've been shooting a bunch of new vids for the site, including this one of a basketball trick I learned way back in, well… watch the clip:
Here's that other great book trailer for my new picture book, "The Soccer Fence."
Now on to some other items!
Way back in 1995, when I was still teaching middle school in the New York City public schools in the Tremont section of the Bronx, the Fugees and Blues Traveler visited my classroom! When you have about 10 minutes, check out this news feature fron CBS. Pretty cool!
Now check out this pic I found. This is me in nursery school! Rockin' the red kicks!
So in 2011, along with about 35 author and illustrator friends, I helped put together a video for the anti-bullying, "It Gets Better Project." If you have a few minutes, please give it a look and help us spread the word. Our goal is to have teachers, librarians, educators and schools share this video with EVERYONE.
What else?
My previous picture book, "THE UNFORGETTABLE SEASON," got some serious love! The book earned great reviews, including THREE STARRED ones from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly and School Library Journal. This was my first non-fiction book, the story of the epic 1941 baseball season.
And check out this FANTASTIC book teaser created by a group of way cool fifth graders from Canyon Creek Elementary in Round Rock, Texas:
Finally, all six books in my Sluggers series are out. They're all available as ebooks, So if you want to read them on a Kindle, Nook or iPad, you most certainly can!
That's all for now.
Oh, wait, if you have another minute or two, click on over to my "School Visits" page and learn about my "Writing Camps."

Police say a person has been taken into custody by police at the Detroit Opera House following a break-in. Police say just after 2 a.m. on Wednesday a man busted through an opera
house door, shattering the glass. Police responded to the scene
immediately and found a 46-year-old man from Fraser hiding behind the
bar. He's believed to have been looking for the cash register, but since
police found him first, he was arrested before he could steal a thing."That's awesome that people are watching and taking care of things that
are valuable and vital to the community, so they captured this guy and
he needs to learn a lesson," Dr. Robert Zalensky, a fan of the opera, says. "I'm actually a performer; I'm a dancer and a singer myself. This means a lot - the performing arts is essential for a city like this," says Rickey Eubanks.Business owners are grateful for the speedy arrest as well. Josh Guitar owns Detroit Beer Company across the street from the Opera House. He says when it comes to keeping the city safe, everyone has a role to play."It's important to have strong businesses next to each other," Guitar says. "A lot of people have moved back downtown, so even people just [look] out for each other on the streets."Fox 2 went downtown to get video of the damage but there was none - it is already cleaned up and all the doors have been barred shut. Detroit Police say the suspect will be arraigned by Friday.

'Killing Mr. Griffin' by Lois Duncan
Published on Friday, September 6, 2013 - 4:46pm
Killing Mr. Griffin by Lois Duncan is a great book for teens returning back to school from their summer vacation.
Mr. Griffin, an English teacher at Del Norte High School and a former English professor at a local university, recognized that students in his college classes struggled miserably with respect to writing complete sentences and submitting written assignments with lackluster effort. In order to fully equip and train students to become more diligent and disciplined in regard to their mastery of the English language before entering college, Mr. Griffin decides to become a no-nonsense high school English teacher.
Mr. Griffin develops a reputation as a stickler for excellence and a teacher who does not accept student's excuses for mediocrity. This mindset causes Mr. Griffin to be despised and disliked by the students in his English class, particularly Mark Kinney. Susan McConnell, a junior in Mr. Griffin's class, is persuaded by Mark and other classmates to lure Mr. Griffin into a trap so that he can learn how it feels to be humiliated and ridiculed by his students.
While Susan is the protagonist, Duncan masterfully allows the reader to hear the voices of all the characters in the story, from David Ruggles' elderly grandmother to Griffin's pregnant wife. This book is an action-packed thriller for every high school student (9th-12th grades), who feels that their teachers are too critical and push them to hard to become better students.
Duncan cries out to students, teachers, and parents alike to no longer accept being good, but to put the time and effort in to becoming great. Great students who don't wait until the last minute to turn in work; great teachers who do not seek the validation of students, but rather challenge their young minds; and great parents who take the time to raise their children instead of proclaiming their child's innocence.
The amount of time and effort that Susan and her friends strategized to plan to harm Mr. Griffin, chould have been used to perfect their English assignments. Duncan allows the reader to see that society kills Mr. Griffin every day when students are not held to a standard of excellence.
Reserve your copy of Killing Mr. Griifin by Lois Duncan today at the Anacostia Neighborhood Library.

Aren't we forgetting something here?
Just because these mounts are now tradeable, doesn't mean that they're any less rare.
People seem to think they'll start falling out of the sky, or magically popping up on AH every few hours. There's still someone out there who has to get that particular card, the chances of which are pretty slim. And even then, that person has the option of keeping the mount, or selling it. If that person happens to sell the mount, do you really think you'll get to the AH fast enough to buy it? I don't think so. All in all, I'm just saying; don't get your hopes up.

Sadhana, spiritual skill sets, may arise first in one especial aspect of one's life, and then slowly expand into every facet of one's being.
Sadhana, sanctified action, is for the most part a surrendering to Love by becoming Loving.
The titular link brings one to a descriptive sadhana entitled "Fearless Friday," a blog by a US Navy wife, Mrs. Bliss. I find it a good example of how any aspect of one's life- be it exercise or meditation or addiction, or loving someone- can become a sadhana.
(Thanks, Nirvani; your entry of August 3, 2012 is brave, dear—and very human.

Hartnell College to Offer Free Parking in the Fall to Thank Students for Their Patience
June 23rd, 2005
Students attending Hartnell College in the fall will not have to pay parking fees.
The college's board of trustees and Hartnell President Edward J. Valeau supported the elimination of the $25 semester-long student parking fee to thank students for their patience as the college builds a three-level parking structure and a new 68,000-square-foot learning resource center (library). Daily parking fees for students also will be eliminated.
For the last year, students have had to park in temporary lots while the two buildings are constructed.
"Students have been so terrific in dealing with the construction projects on campus," said Valeau. "Therefore, we thought it was very appropriate to eliminate the parking fee in the fall to let them know how much we appreciate their patience in this matter."
The $18 million parking structure, which will provide 1,174 spaces, will open in October, according to Stan Crane, assistant to the president for Measure H. The $19 million learning resource center will open its doors in early 2006.
The campus changes are funded by the successful passage in 2002 of the college's $131 million Measure H bond measure and other state funds.
Associated Students President John Jackson is thrilled with the decision to eliminate parking fees for the fall semester. "I think that eliminating the parking fee shows great concern by Hartnell for its students."
The fall semester begins Monday, August 15.
For more information, call Stan Crane at (831) 755-6795.

Louis graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA in Ceramics and Glass in 2011. His professional career over the last 25 years has afforded him the opportunity to work with a number of glass practitioners in the UK and abroad.
I completed a BA Degree in Design with Surface Pattern and Glass in 2000 and then developed the 'artlounge', an art gallery selling over 180 artist's work, with exhibitions, art and craft classes and community projects. During this time I sold my own work. With a change of occupation for a time I then in 2012 completed a Masters Degree in Design, Ceramics and Glass at UCLAN
In first seeking success in the world of art I studied and investigated form and surface through drawing and mixed media, and learning techniques to manipulate and create with glass, clay and carving stone. Light and shadow, colour and surface continuously play on my mind encouraging forms to emerge. The heart of my creative endeavours are bound in, knowledge, truth and the joy of making.
My name is Linda Thomson and I live near the country town of Biggar, with my husband two dogs and three cats. I have always been interested in crafts, particularly Papier Mache bowls and vases, glass and silk painting. I have been making Dichroic glass jewellery for about two years selling locally through shops, crafts fairs, and the internet.
I have been engraving glass for over 20 years and it has been my main professional activity for the last 15. I was elected a Fellow of the Guild of Glass Engravers in 2000. I work both to commission and for exhibitions.
Self-taught maker. Inspired by natural forms and fractal arrangements.
Deborah Timperley is a glass maker whose work has evolved from glass bowls and glass jewellery into pieces which explore a concept. Her current series explores a 'Dialogue at the Threshold' using black glass and 23.5ct gold. The pieces are a combination of open casting and lost wax casting.

Mark Fraser smiles when asked about teammate Leo Komarov and what makes him so darn interesting.
"He was telling us stories the other day about the six months that he had to be in the army in Finland and just some crazy stories," said the Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman. "It's just a world we've never experienced, but for him, he's just so nonchalant that he's done this. "It was just amazing the way he could talk about the different guns he would use and we're all thinking, 'We're all professional players and have had nothing close to this experience.'"
Komarov is one of the several new faces on the Leafs roster this season and is most known for his ability to agitate opponents. But he's also filled another role on the team: most interesting man.
Last season, the role of most interesting man in the Leafs room was filled by Swedish goalie Jonas Gustavsson, who was allowed to leave via free agency last summer. Now, it's Komarov, an Estonian-born son of Russian parents, who grew up in Finland attending a Swedish-language school, that has assumed that mantle.
His time in the Finnish military – all males over 18 living in Finland must spend some time in uniform – is a hot topic in the dressing room these days.
"It was fun," said Komarov, whose brother is still enlisted. "It was nice. I had a gun I'd shoot. We were in the forest for weeks."
Asked to expand on some of the more notable things that happened when he was in the military, Komarov politely declined.
"No, we would need to have some beers," Komarov said with a wry grin. "It's a long story."
'I've got some good stories for a 26-year-old'
On the road, Komarov is roommates with 22-year-old centre Nazem Kadri and so far, they're getting along well.
"He's really good," said Komarov. "He always goes to bed at 11pm, but wakes up too late, though. I'm trying always to wake him up. I guess I'm pretty old already."
"He's just ... I don't know," said Kadri when asked to explain what makes Komarov such an engaging individual. "Sometimes you're like, 'Geez, I wonder what he got up to?' You know what I mean? He's got that look on his face."
Komarov is well aware of his reputation as an international man of mystery.
"I heard about that. I got some good stories for a 26-year-old," he said without skipping a beat. "I've seen a lot."
"The guy knows four languages," said Leafs winger Matt Frattin, who played on a line with Komarov earlier this season. "He's the most interesting man on the team, that's for sure. He's been all over and there's never a dull moment when you're talking to him.
"He's a smart guy to pick up languages like that. I know half of one [laughs] I know half of English."
Komarov learned English from talking with teammates from Canada and the United States, who he played with overseas in the KHL and Finnish Elite League (SM-liiga), but he still hasn't perfected it.
"Give me a year and I will be good," Komarov insists.
He also speaks Russian, Finnish and Swedish.
'Just Leo being Leo'
There are just as many layers to Komarov on the ice where he elicits a special kind of hatred amongst opposition players and even sometimes his own teammates.
During a recent practice, he knocked down defenceman Korbinian Holzer from behind in what was supposed to be a fun, light-hearted game at the end of the on-ice workout. After dusting himself off and skating gingerly to the bench, Holzer shouted back at Komarov airing his grievance.
When questioned about the incident an hour later, Holzer sighed and said, "That's just Leo being Leo. He didn't mean to hurt me."
Fraser estimates that a third of all fights and post-whistle scrums in Leafs games are the direct result of Komarov's pesky antics, even though he averages 14:14 minutes of ice time per outing.
So what makes him such a pest?
"I'd probably hate him if I played against him," said Kadri. "He's always finishing his hits. He always seems like he's walking that fine line between illegal and legal. Even if you let the puck go, a couple seconds after, he'll still come in and finish his check and maybe give you a little extra shot, which the ref doesn't see, which definitely, definitely, gets some guys going."
"It's not like he runs around and tries to make a big hit," said Frattin. "It's more just getting his body in the other team's way that makes him so effective. Even if you look at him back-checking, if his guy is going to the net, he's going to get in front of him and use his body so the guy has to go around him instead of having the free lane. It's little things like that which make him hard to play against. He doesn't do anything dirty or cheap. He just plays the game. That's probably the hardest thing for the other team to take. He makes the opposition work to get the space instead of giving them the easy way out."
Although Kadri isn't so sure everything Komarov does is kosher.
"He's a bit shady when he does some of those things," said Kadri. "He's nifty with his stick and, when he's in tight with opponents, he knows how to really irritate them. Once he's been in the league a few more years, I think the refs will kind of get on him a little bit more, but for now I think he's good."
Who has Komarov upset the most?
"I think [Buffalo's Steve] Ott was pretty mad at him and Montreal doesn't particularly like him a whole lot," said a grinning Clarke MacArthur. "He's starting to get his name out there."
Hitting machine
Overall team toughness has been a big part of the new Leafs identity this season and Komarov's particular style of grit is a key component.
"We love it," said Fraser. "For a guy like myself, who tries to record as many hits as I can, be that physical presence, it seems like I can never get more than Leo. He's always outhitting me on the stat sheet, but that's great. That's his energy. That's what he brings and it's phenomenal, being so active and in the face of the players, it not only brings us together, but it helps us fuel off his energy and create some momentum. It's a minor thing, but it's definitely a role thing that counts."
The Leafs lead the NHL in hits (697) and in major penalties (24). But Komarov has not dropped the gloves at all this season. In fact, he has just six minor penalties and two of them were for diving.
Komarov, who enters Tuesday's games third in the NHL in hits (92), believes the presence of guys like Fraser, Colton Orr and Frazer McLaren allows him to be more effective, because he knows he has backup if things go off the rails.
"Of course it helps," he said. "I know we got tough guys on the team, but if there's going to be problems, I will fight as well. I don't like it, but I will do it. We got guys who are strong, who will do that so I don't have to do that."
Komarov can recall fighting just seven times in his career.
"You never know," he said. "If someone gets upset, because maybe I hit somebody the wrong way and I have to stand up for myself or stand up for somebody else... sometimes you have to do it.
"Fights are good too, they give you energy."
Komarov is reminded that Mikhail Grabovski actually went toe-to-toe with Ottawa Senators tough guy Chris Neil last season.
"Yeah, Grabovski will fight everybody," Komarov said smiling. "He's a pretty angry man."
And although Grabovski and Komarov are close off the ice, Komarov is a bit more levelheaded on the ice.
One of the things that piques the interest about Komarov is his unflappable nature. He refuses to engage in trash talk and will just skate away from scrums, which doesn't sit well with opposing players.
"It's not like he's out there yapping like some of these guys in this league where you want to [shut them up]," said MacArthur. "He just plays hard and when the play's over, that's it."
And off the ice, he takes everything in stride. After scoring his first career NHL goal on a Saturday night (Feb. 9) in the hockey mecca of Montreal, he couldn't be less impressed with himself.
"You know, I've scored goals before," he told reporters, who are used to seeing huge smiles from first-time scorers.
Komarov filled a more prominent role in the KHL during the lockout, playing at times on a line with Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom.
So it's no surprise that Komarov is not about to get carried away when discussing Toronto's 14-9-0 start, which has them sitting comfortably in a playoff position.
"We're a good young team, but we need to keep it going," said Komarov, who won a KHL title a year ago and a world championship with Finland in 2011. "We haven't done anything good yet. If we lose 20 in a row now, everybody will talk s--- about us. We can't even relax now. We just need to keep it going. We'll have bad days and good days coming."
However the Leafs season goes, good or bad, with Komarov in the mix, it is bound to be interesting.

MP on a hiding to nothing – Peters will prevail
If he is serious about getting Brendan Horan out of parliament, NZ First leader Winston Peters must first engineer his expulsion from the party.
Expelling Mr Horan from his caucus is not enough, in view of Mr Horan's publicly stated determination to cling to his public pay and perks by remaining in the House as an unelected so-called independent MP.
And that is where the whole saga gets dirty, as Mr Horan contemplates an appeal to the party executive to allow him to stay.
Meanwhile, one senior political figure says the NZ First executive will do whatever Mr Peters tells them to.
Mr Horan was expelled from the party caucus yesterday, and Mr Peters called on him to resign as an MP, over family allegations relating to money apparently missing from his dying mother's bank account.
Mr Horan's lawyer Paul Mabey QC told NBR ONLINE the party still has a role in the list MP's future with the party and his ability to stay in parliament.
"That's something we're going to be talking about tomorrow, probably, about where he goes but we haven't got to grips with that yet.
Asked if it was Mr Horan's intention to ask the party's executive if he could stay, Mr Mabey says: "That hasn't been decided yet. It's early days."
United Future faced a similar situation when MP Gordon Copeland resigned in 2007 over the so-called smacking bill.
Horan's position 'untenable' if expelled
United Future leader Peter Dunne, the revenue minister and the party's only MP in parliament, said the difference with Mr Copeland was he wasn't dismissed but resigned.
"I think list MPs who leave their parties under whatever circumstances effectively forfeit their mandate to be in parliament – because that's the only reason they're there; they're not elected by an electorate, they're elected on the basis of being placed on a party ticket."
In commenting to NBR ONLINE, Mr Dunne got it wrong, saying Mr Horan was no longer a member of the NZ First party.
He said Mr Horan's position would be unternable if he was removed from the party but tried to remain in parliament.
However, Mr Dunne says there are still questions over the nature of Mr Horan's departure.
The MP has the right to a fair hearing, he says, and a "complicating factor" could be if NZ First's executive decided he shouldn't be expelled from the party.
"It would be very mucky.
"I suspect what will happen is the party board, or whatever it is, will simply fall into line with Winston's wishes and expel him, so the issue mightn't arise.
Mr Dunne says there are parallels with the Donna Awatere Huata affair, who in 2003 challenged her expulsion from the ACT party over fraud allegations, which went to the Supreme Court and led to her removal from parliament in 2004.
"The party and Mr Horan should get the best legal advice they can because if either was of a mind to be belligerent this could drag on for a very long time and be destructive for them."
Comments and questions9
" ...publicly stated determination to cling to his public pay and perks ..."
He is determined to fight and clear his name. Would you just roll over and accept the sentence handed down by Judge Winston?
Seems he is just one of the dropkick party list MPs in NZ First. Need I mention Mr Williams as one such example. Give it time. More will follow the path of Mr Horan.
Judge Winston has undertaken a full inquiry into this matter and has reached a unanimous verdict of "Guilty; period." And this Judge is the man who defends natural justice? You have to be joking! Mees thinks the NZFP is skating on very thin ice when it comes to the credibility stakes if it dispenses with natural justice just because Judge Winston says to.
If I were Mr Horan, I would tell Winnie that he will leave parliament if NZ First pay him redundancy equal to his parliamentary salary for the remainder of this term.
Puppet Master Winston is just happy to be in the headlines again.
I wouldn't put it past him to intentionally over-react knowing full well that any future necessary kiss and make up with Mr Horan publicity would also keep NZ First on the front pages. Winston is in a win-win by hissing and fussing at this stage, and, hey, it is about the only thing he has done successfully his whole life.
Who cares. This is a freeloader party run by the county's biggest freeloader.

Christina Ricci's huge dramatic eyes – and a good deal of the rest of her anatomy – are exploited to the full in this offbeat horror, the debut feature of Polish short film director Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo.
After a major car crash, Anna (Ricci) wakes up in the morgue, where creepy funeral director Eliot (Liam Neeson) assures her she's dead – even though she can talk and move – and sets about preparing her funeral.
Is she really – or is Eliot playing sick tricks? We never find out, and it all gets a bit Sixth Sense on us – but Ricci and Neeson reliably transcend their material.

A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens' Christmas tale of Ebenezer Scrooge's miserly life and ultimate redemption, opened at McCarter Theatre on Friday and will run through Dec. 28. The audience's standing ovation on opening night was a testament to a performance that breathes new life into all too familiar characters.
It can be difficult to perform the same show year after year, especially a story so familiar that most need not buy tickets to know its characters and message. Under the direction of Michael Unger, McCarter's cast of 40 actors, dancers and singers manages to avoid the trap of redundancy or boredom.
Broadway veteran Graeme Malcolm leads the cast as Scrooge, an actor who brings as much humor and vulnerability to the role as he does the requisite dour moodiness, periodically punctuated with his signature "Bah Humbug" line.
Surrounded by holiday cheer on streets of London in an opening scene, Scrooge scares happy children and barks at women seeking handouts for the less fortunate. Irked that he must not only give his employee Bob Crachit the day off for Christmas but also pay him his measly salary, he mutters, "My generosity has always been my weakness."
Scrooge's smug demeanor begins to evaporate as he received unexpected messages and is soon visited by three ghosts. Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future take Scrooge back to his childhood and forward through time, giving the audience an understanding of what led Scrooge to become the man he is. These scenes are marked by unexpected twists and turns. There are characters who seem to appear from nowhere, ghosts who sprinkle glitter, even occasions where Scrooge himself flies into the air or seems to dive down into the stage floor.
The supporting cast is captivating, particularly John Ahlin as Scrooge's former boss Mr. Fezziwig, David Kenner as a young Scrooge, Natalie Venetia Belcon as the Ghost of Christmas Present. Fourteen area children share the stage with trained actors in this year's performance, and highlights include standout performances by Kieran McKenna as Crachit's son Tiny Tim and Noah Hinsdale, a butcher delivery boy who delivers a scene stealing performance near the end of the show.
Each scene reveals an exquisite set design by Ming Cho Lee, be it the grimy streets of 1843 London, Scrooge's home, his office, even the home of his long-suffering employee, Bob Crachit.
This season's production will mark the 200th performance in the show for James Ludwig, as well as the 100th performances for Justin Blanchard, Michele Tauber, Price Waldman, and young ensemble member Annika Goldman of Princeton.
The performance features adaptation by David Thompson, original music and lyrics by Michael Starobin, choreography by Rob Ashford and costume design by Jess Goldstein. Tickets start at $20 and may be purchased by calling (609) 258-2787 or online at www.mccarter.org
