Apex theatre Studio & Sponsored by Friends of Ponte Vedra Concert Hall from December 19-21, 2025. Tickets for A Christmas Carol go on sale this Friday, October 3, at 10 AM through our official ticketing partner, AXS, and in person at The St. Augustine Amphitheatre & Ponte Vedra Concert Hall Box Offices, open daily from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Focusing on Dickens’ powerful language, humor and warmth, this charming version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL simply and directly tells the story of the redemption of a human soul. The play follows the ever-powerful story of Scrooge, a lonely miser, who, through the help of spirits and visions from his past, present and future, finds a second chance to become a loving, generous human being. Adapted for a company of six actors, accompanied by a fiddler, the play requires a minimum of sets, costumes and props. It begins with a child reading the story for the first time. As the scenes are played out behind him, the child becomes totally caught up in the story and is finally invited by the other characters to enter the play as one of them. With traditional carols and English folk tunes creating the proper atmosphere, the world of Scrooge, Fezziwig and Tiny Tim comes alive, igniting the holiday spirit for young and old alike. This event is sponsored by Friends of Ponte Vedra Concert Hall.

In this adaptation four actors in an attic retell Louisa May Alcott's classic novel. Using found objects from across time (balloons, hula hoops, ribbon dancers, and more), the players create scenes of love, loss, and the ever glowing warmth of the March family hearth.
The second studio show this session highlights the work of Horton Foote, academy award winning author of the screenplay for To Kill A Mockingbird. All three short plays are set in the fictional town of Harrison, Texas. We begin with the comic "Blind Date," in which the blunt and truculent Sarah Nancy must endure her genteel Aunt Dolores' determined efforts to get her married off as her bemused Uncle Robert watches while craving a dinner his wife has been too busy to cook. Next is "The One-Armed Man," which packs a great deal of observation about class and economic disparities into its 15 minutes as it details the story of McHenry, a cotton-gin worker who lost an arm in an accident on the job and wants his ex-boss, C.W. Rowe, to restore it. "The Dancers" tells the story of a high school graduate going to his first dance with a girl before he heads off to college. The show movingly conveys the joys and woes of average lives in the titular Texas small town. "Harrison, TX" is definite proof of that old adage that good things can come in small packages.-Variety
Apex Theater Studio in partnership with the theatre program at Alan D. Nease Highschool will present the Broadway musical Matilda, based on Roald Dahl's beloved youth novel. Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher Miss Honey. During her first term at school, the two forge a bond as Miss Honey begins to recognize and appreciate Matilda's extraordinary personality. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves to punish those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace!
