ACTOR GETS EARLY JUMP ON CHRISTMAS ON “MTSU ON THE RECORD”
Allan Barlow, MTSU Alum and Star of “A Christmas Carol,” Discusses Actor’s Craft
(MURFREESBORO) - MTSU alumnus Allan Barlow will be Gina Logue’s guest at 7 a.m. this Sunday, Nov. 16, on “MTSU on the Record” on WMOT-FM (89.5 and wmot.org). A Seattle-based working actor whose credits include repertory, commercials, television and movies, will bring Charles Dickens’ classic “A Christmas Carol” to life in a one-man tour de force at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 18, at Tucker Theatre in the Boutwell Dramatic Arts Building. Barlow says, “Although memorizing an hour and a half of dialogue was a big challenge, the hardest thing for me was visualizing the settings and blocking for over 20 different characters. I had to pay extra attention to each character's point of focus so the audience would always know which character was speaking.”
