'The Comedy Roast of Mr. Scrooge'

Opening: Set aside your notions of redemptive humanity. This show assembles characters from Dickens' classic and lets them really speak their minds about that miser Scrooge. Even Tiny Tim and the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future get their licks in. Adam Fielitz, John Haynes and Rick Logan are among the comedians assembled by Actors Theater of Minnesota in this spicy romp. It's advertised as "adults only" for the "honest" language. It gets a little blue. Actors Theater has taken up residence of a sort at the Camp Bar in downtown St. Paul, where this show runs for two weekends. (10 p.m. Fri., 9:30 p.m. Sat., 8 p.m. Sun. & Wed. Ends Dec. 21; Camp Bar, 490 N. Robert St., St. Paul; $19.50-$24.50, 800-838-3006 or www.actorsmn.org.)
