A 1940s Radio Christmas Carol

Audience members experience the Feddington Players attempting to stage a live Christmas Eve radio broadcast of Charles Dickens' classic holiday tale. Backstage mishaps, blackouts, and missed cues soon spiral into comedic chaos, forcing the troupe to improvise a film noir-style mystery ending. The musical comedy features period songs and swing-style arrangements of Christmas favorites.
