BACKGROUND:

Audiences raved about our sold out November, 2024, live radio broadcast of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ - so much so that the radio station, WBFR, will once again come to life with another beloved holiday classic - ‘A Christmas Carol’. We are an immersive theatre and look forward to building our next cast family.

​

ABOUT THE PLAY:  This is a story within a story that takes place in a run-down 1940s New York radio station. The radio station staff play the various parts of the characters in the story, ‘The Christmas Carol’.  

​

ABOUT THE CAST:

Overview:  A minimum of 5 - 8 radio station staff actors will play the up to 32 character parts.  Since this is a radio show, actors with vocal quality, timbre, and flexibility to play multiple characters are a must.  British and Cockney’d accents will have coaching as needed.

 

The special roles of Ebeneezer Scrooge, Jacob Marley and Tiny Tim may be selected at the discretion of the Director to be played by one actor each as their sole acting part.  
 

Musical abilities and/or ability to play an instrument are a plus.
