ABOUT THE SHOW Your heart will sing with this long-awaited sequel to the popular1940'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. DIRECTED BY: Ron Gilbert MUSIC DIRECTION: Tracy Williams LOCATION: Amana Performing Arts Center 39 38th Ave, Amana, IA 52203 PRESENTED BY: TKM Theatrical Productions TKM Theatrical Productions, a charitable nonprofit theatrical production company. Co-founders Tom Milligan and Deb Kennedy combine their extensive theater background to bring affordable entertainment to their community. “Bringing people together.” TICKETS: $25 GROUP RATES & INFO: [email protected] or call 319-899-3799Registration
