Workshop Players' "1940s Radio Christmas Carol" Nov. 14 - 24
by Workshop Players 08 Nov '24

08 Nov '24

Workshop Players present 1940s Radio Christmas Carol by Walton Jones, David Wohl, and Faye Greenberg Directed by Kristina Rivera, Music Direction by Jayne Kacik The year is 1943 and the Feddington Players are geared up to present their contemporary take on Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” Though it seems a coup to snag famous soap opera star William St. Claire to play Scrooge, a mid-show breakdown on his part leads to a hilarious improvised “save” of Tiny Tim … and even the Lindberg Baby. This charming show demonstrates the old art of “live radio,” alongside traditional caroling, 1940’s style commercials that would never fly today, and an amazing rendition of the well-known Dickens tale. It is heartwarming and funny. And a great way to usher in the Christmas season. Cast: Kevin Boland, Eileen Burns, Deb Burrow, Dave Hopkins, Jayne Kacik, Shelbey Linder, Jonathan McCleery, Dennis Runkle, Isabel Valega, Scott Wagner and Luke Wise Performances are November 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23 at 7:30 p.m. with 3 p.m. matinees on November 17, 24 at 3 p.m. Doors open 45 minutes before show time. Tickets are $18.50 (includes all fees.) Group rates available. Tickets online at workshopplayers.org or by calling the Box Office: 440-634-0472 -- Workshop Players Theatre 44820 Middle Ridge Road P.O.
