The Past, a Present Yet to Come by Burien Actors Theatre

Burien Actors Theatre (BAT) brings laughter to the season with their Northwest premiere of the holiday comedy The Past, a Present Yet to Come, written by Matt Schatz, from Nov. 28 through Dec. 21

 In this irreverent imagining of how Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol came to be written, a young entrepreneur in Victorian London sets out to produce a play that will soften his Uncle Ebenezer Scrooge’s hard heart. He turns to no-nonsense theatre producer J.B. Roth, who engages a broke, philandering Dickens. Are there ulterior motives for this unlikely mission to save Scrooge?

 The Past, a Present Yet to Come contains a little adult language and some adult content.

 Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday performances at 2 p.m. Show run time is approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.

 BAT performances are at the Theater at Kennedy Catholic High School, 140 S. 140th St., Burien, WA 98168.

 There is plenty of free on-site parking—follow the signs into the parking lot and around the buildings to the entrance, which is in back.

 Ticket prices range from $7 to $25. Student tickets are always $5. Opening weekend only, enjoy some outstanding deals. Only on Saturday, November 29, all tickets are $13. Only on Sunday, November 30, all tickets are just $7. For tickets and details, go to https://battheatre.org/the-past-a-present-yet-to-come/, or call 206-242-5180 (message only).
