A Christmas Carol β A Radio Play
December 18, 2022, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
$2TICKETS CAN BE PURCHASED ONLINE IN ADVANCE
The set for Cantignyβs version of βA Christmas Carolβ is a vintage radio station. Audiences will enjoy a behind-the-scenes perspective as they watch a talented five-member cast cycle through multiple characters. To the side, an old-time radio sound artist will create realistic auditory effects to support the action on stage. The show is inspired by Chicagoβs Theatre of the Air, a real radio program introduced by Colonel Robert McCormick on WGN in 1940.
While the setting is a bit different, the main characterβs journey is familiar. Ebeneezer Scrooge is a Chicago citizen in the 1940s and publisher of the Chicago Daily News. Guided by three memorable spirits, he will need to learn the true meaning of Christmas and βgoodwill to allβ if he is to save himself from an unforgiving future.
