The Actors Theatre
The Actors Theatre is a fun and fabulous group of traveling actors bringing theatre to YOU!
A Christmas Carol
A radio play by Philip Grecian
Based on the Novel by Charles Dickens
Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois
The Actors Theatre is a program of Side by Side Theatre & Music, a Kansas non-profit organization.
Eleven actors play the roles of all the traditional Dickensian Christmas Carol characters; everyone from Fezzywig to Scrooge, the various ghosts past and present with a little Tiny Tim sprinkled in. The actors are lightly costumed, and all sound effects are done live in front of the audience. Performed as a radio play, the actors delight us with their talents as they warm this beautiful story of the embittered Ebenezer Scrooge transforming through a night’s journey of his past, present, and future life errors into a kind and generous soul.
