Step back in time for a heartwarming holiday experience – the long-awaited sequel to the popular The 1940s Radio Hour. It’s Christmas Eve 1943, and the Feddington Players are now broadcasting from a hole-in-the-wall studio in Newark, New Jersey, and they are 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 and radio novice William St. Claire, "A 1940s Radio Christmas Carol" is an entertaining excursion into the mayhem and madness of a live radio show. 

"A 1940s Radio Christmas Carol" performance schedule: 

  • 8 p.m. Dec. 13 and 14
  • 3 p.m.  Dec. 15

The show is directed by Albert J. Boeren with Jim Kraus as musical director. Stage manager is Lisa Boeren and costumer is Eva Grove. 

Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for seniors (age 60+), $14 for student/child and are available at the CCBC Box Office at 443-840-ARTS (2787) or online at ccbctickets.com.
