📖 SHOW SYNOPSIS:
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly man who is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. Through these supernatural visits, Scrooge undergoes a transformative journey that leads him to embrace the true spirit of Christmas.
Presented in the style of a live radio broadcast from the Golden Age of radio, this production brings the classic tale to life through the artful use of live practical Foley sound effects, voice acting, and narrative. All proceeds from this production will benefit a charity chosen by the director.
