ACTOR DIES ON STAGE DURING “A CHRISTMAS CAROL”

An actor at Edmonton, Canada’s Citadel Theater died on stage during a performance of “A Christmas Carol.” Popular local actor Julien Arnold, 60, was midway through the play last Sunday when he suddenly collapsed. Paramedics arrived on the scene at 8:28 p.m. and attempted to resuscitate him, but Mr. Arnold died inside the theater. He had been playing the roles of Mr. Fezziwig and Marley’s ghost.
* Wow, now THAT’s method acting.
* Did anybody shout, “Is there a doctor in the house?”
* Like they say in the theater, comedy is hard, dying is easy.
* Good thing he wasn’t playing Scrooge, or his maids and servants would have sold all his stuff before he was even cold.
* And now they have to reprint the Playbills.
