John Clark (Ebenezer Scrooge) Ten years ago I started this journey, playing Ebenezer Scrooge, and this year the curtain will come down for the final time. Special thanks to Mark and Jen for entrusting me with this role and Ken Michels who dir ected this show the first two years and agreed to come back to help complete the circle.  This is not a typical bio by any means, I won't go into the different roles I've done and plays I've appeared in Seattle over the last 50+ years. I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed the experience of performing a dream role like Scrooge.
