‘Ebenezer Ever After’
Stumptown Stages presents Ebenezer Ever
After, sponsored by Kaady Carwash, an original
holiday musical starring Portland actress and
columnist Margie Boule as Madame Ubasti, and
Wrick Jones as Scrooge.
Wrick is a veteran of stage and screen. He is
one of the founding members of the acclaimed
Portland Black Repertory Theatre, and a member
of the Storefront Theatre.
Directed by Kirk Mouser and based on a
script by Don Flowers and Fred Walton, the
story is set 20 years after the events of "A
Christmas Carol." Unable to stop
thinking of Jacob Marley,
Ebenezer Scrooge con­
vinces a grown-up Tim
Cratchit to accompany
him on a spiritual quest
to free Marley from the
chains his former part­
ner still carries through
the underworld... with­
out realizing what the
attempt might ultimately
cost Scrooge himself.
