When you think of Christmas, Kwanzaa or whatever you celebrate, you can't
help but associate LTG's successful seasonal "Sista Scrooge." Well, as
the old saying goes, there's nothing like a good ol' LTG classic to bring
in the New Year and because of your reception to this unconventional
piece, the Live Theatre Gang is bringing the one of a kind musical back by
popular demand, but now with a Latin Twist! That's right, "Boriqua
Scrooge" is sure to ignite the holiday spirit in everyone. Featuring
original songs by Ah-Keisha McCants translated by Lazaro Viciedo,
the classic Charles Dickens', "A Christmas Carol" is spunked up with
Latino flava. Co-Directed by the dynamic duo, the fun is coming to the
New York Comedy Club with an exclusive engagement every Sunday in
December! If you miss this show, you must be, "Humbuggin', Coco out of
your mind!" Get your reservations in today!
Well Gang, at the risk of sounding redundant, LTG has
another hit on its hands. And judging by the audiences that are lining up a
t the
New York
Comedy Club, Sundays at 5:00 p.m., this show is not to be missed, especially if you're looking for some great holiday fun. I was at the opening
night performance and I must say there was a lot of surprises in store for me,
specially since I'm a number one fan of last year's
Sista' Scrooge.
When Ah-Keisha McCants
(Writer/Director) first told me about her idea of doing a Latin version of the
play, my curiosity peaked. After seeing the execution you discover her
adaptation holes up in any language. Her ingenious rendition of "A Christmas
Carol" will be our own classic hit for many years to come. You've got just two
more opportunities to witness what I'm talking about. If you are in the New York
area, make sure you get your
Reservations in early for
Boriqua Scrooge,
particularly for the last remaining performances, because they are filling
up faster than ever.
Reed R. McCants
Artistic Director

The people
poured in on opening night to see “Boriqua
Scrooge” and the cast was oiled and
ready as helmer Ah-Keisha McCants and Lazaro Viciedo who was also
a cast member, prepped the enthusiastic audience for the debut of the new
rendition of our Christmas presentation. Fans of LTG are familiar with this
Holiday treat which premiered in 2000 as “Sista Scrooge”, the hilarious comedy
that won the
New York audience and critics praise. This show is unlike any other holiday
spec
ial
because it cooks up the Charles Dickens’ classic, “A Christmas Carol” in a
fresh way. It’s a parody, it’s a musical, it’s a comedy with lots of heart
and soul! This year we welcome cast members Lucretia Armstrong as
Peaches, Chaunta Macklin as Chorus Girl Red, Tonye Briggs as
Chorus Girl White,
Madeline Reed as Jucinda Marley, Staxx
Cordero
as Ghost of Christmas Past, Tawfiq as Ghost of Christmas Present,

Ortega as Ghost of Christmas Future, Naima as Tiny Taina, Charlene
Gonzalez as Mrs. Cratchit, Lazaro Viciedo as Mr. Cratchit and
Alexandra Gutierrez as the cantankerous Boriqua Scrooge! This Cast is
phenomenal and this play is a great holiday treat for the entire family, so be
sure to make your Reservations to check out Boriqua Scrooge. You’ve got 4 more chances!
