A 1940s RADIO CHRISTMAS CAROL
December 8 & 9 at 7:30pm and December 10 at 3:00pm

Director & Choreographer: DANY ROUSSEAU
Written by Walton Jones, David Wohl, and Faye Greenberg presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samual French Inc. Seamlessly combining drama and comedy, heartbreak and hope, A 1940s Radio Christmas Carol will sing its way into your heart.

Summary: It’s Christmas Eve, 1943, and the Feddington Players are now broadcasting from a hole-in-the-wall studio in Newark, NJ, and set to present their contemporary “take” on Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. Whether it’s the noisy plumbing, missed cues, electrical blackouts, or the over-the-top theatrics of veteran actor, but radio novice, William St. Claire, this radio show is an entertaining excursion into the mayhem and madness of a live radio show. St. Claire’s escalating foibles and acting missteps propel the show to a simultaneously comedic and heart-wrenching dramatic climax: St. Claire has an on-air breakdown, and begins to connect his own life with that of the classic Dickens tale. In order to “save the show,” the company improvises an ending to Charles Dickens’ classic as a film noir mystery, featuring a hardboiled detective, a femme fatale, and an absurd rescue of Tiny Tim (and the Lindbergh baby) from the clutches of a Hitler-esque villain named Rudolf!
