TV credits include: Ryan's Hope; All My Children; and A Christmas Carol on PBS. Ms. Irey has also worked as a director, writer, producer, and teacher, frequently collaborating with her husband, Stefano LoVerso. Among the pieces they co-wrote are many magazine articles and several plays and adaptations, including Anne of Green Gables and Avi's Something Upstairs, which was produced at Louisville's StageOne. They founded the professional theatre company Helper Intermountain Theatre, of which they were co-artistic directors for four years. During that time, faced with the necessity of producing a small-cast holiday show, they wrote A Christmas Carol. . .more or less.

Synopsis: | Sarah and Charlie, a married couple, run a small theatre that's presenting A Christmas Carol -- until Charlie shows up backstage to say the cast and crew are snowed out. Charlie is planning to split up with Sarah tonight, but he's snowed in. Sarah, furious, capitalizes on Charlie's remarkable memory, and blackmails him into doing the play with her as a duo, relying on scripts when they need to. He plays Scrooge; she plays everyone else. As the performance proceeds, Charlie gets drawn back into his relationship with Sarah. They actually manage to perform much of the play, with their personal story invading the Dickens tale, informing it with dual levels of meaning. | |||||
