‘A 1940’s RADIO Christmas Carol’ at The Amana Performing Arts Center

By Times-Republican 2 min read

AMANA -- Coming to The Amana Performing Arts Center a classic holiday musical, "A 1940's RADIO Christmas Carol" at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 4, 5, 11 and 12 with matinees at 3 p.m. on Dec. 6 and 13.

People's hearts will sing with this long-awaited sequel to the popular "1940’s Radio Hour." 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. To “save the show,” the company improvises an ending to the Charles Dickens’ classic.

Starring: Scot Hughes, Jeffrey Roush, Layton White, Jonesy McElroy, Carson Brandt, Tom Milligan, Tracy Williams, Marcia Hughes, Sarah Hinzman, Ally Schumacher, and Introducing Onyx Phelps.

The Amana Performing Arts Center is located at 39 38th Ave, Amana. Tickets can be purchased at: amanaperformingartscenter.com/upcoming-events/
