The Scrooge is back

Today, our KOAG Christmas Production, The Dream, is feature in The Star Newspaper.

If you have not read it, do get a copy today. Here is the synopsis of the drama as quoted from the paper.

MOST of us are acquainted with a character called Ebenezer Scrooge in the
Charles Dickens’ novel, A Christmas Carol.A miserly and miserable man who
despises Christmas, Scrooge is given the golden opportunity to redeem himself
after visits from the three Ghosts of Christmas, Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost
of Christmas Present and Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.70s dance moves:
Children and youth of the Kajang Assembly of God performing to a song from the
movie, Saturday Night Fever. The Kajang Assembly of God’s upcoming Christmas
presentation, The Dream, shares a common premise with Dicken’s novel where a
tight-fisted man changes his ways after a disturbing dream.Pivotal characters in
the production are the penny-pinching sundry shop owner, Wong Ah Leong (played
by Ng Kon Leong) and his hard-working nephew, Ah Kow (Ang Khai Chung).“Christmas
is around the corner but Ah Leong is far from happy. He continues oppressing
those around him who are in need and refuses to lend to the poor,” said producer
Leona Lim.“Ah Kow may be dependent on him for a living but Ah Leong cannot
understand why his nephew, who has a crippled child, is always joyful.”One
night, Ah Leong has a dream. Flashbacks show why he becomes bitter and blames
God for his calamities.The 90-minute production is the biggest ever to be staged
by the KAOG with a RM10,000 budget.Where are my dues?: Wong (left) questioning
Velu. Set in circa 70s Kajang, The Dream uses stage presence, special effects
and multimedia technology for a quality production.The drama scenes are
interspersed with well choreographed dance routines with the participation of
church members of varying groups and ages, namely Sonshine Kids, Powerhouse and
Ekklesia. The little performers of Tadika Anak Seri Cahaya will also take to the
stage.“The Dream will be staged on Dec 19 and 20 at 8pm at the KAOG, 52, Jalan
