Carpenter admits he was a little blasé last time around (this is his seventh “Carol” at ACT) so he’s trying to take Dickens to a darker place this year. Northside Theatre is also doing “Carol” with a twist, a female Scrooge named Ebeneeda. Some orchestras take the do-it-yourself approach with “Singalong Messiah.”.

The Oakland fire has many cities on edge. In Emeryville, officials pre-emptively shut down a music show and fundraiser for the victims of the Ghost Ship tragedy scheduled last Wednesday at Midsummer Studios, a private film production studio, said co-founder Colin Shane Hakes. He said they were able to quickly move the show to the Starline Social Club in Oakland just hours before the event but were told they couldn’t host any other public events until they secure the requisite permits. In Richmond, city officials pledged to crack down on the punk rock venue, Burnt Ramen, which hosts live bands. It also told Bridge Storage and Art Space — a unique hybrid of storage units, art studios and music rehearsal spaces, which sometimes hosts parties and shows — that the artists and musicians could no longer use the units to practice and work.
