The holidays are upon us in Western Alaska, and during Christmas week, we’re featuring a variety of special programs.
The shows below are the highlights of our religious and dramatic programs for Christmastime; we posted yesterday about this year’s Christmas music shows.
A Christmas Carol: Radio Drama
Monday, Dec. 23: 8pm
A radio drama directed by Jay Stern and adapted by Producer Craig Wichman from the novella by Charles Dickens, this production returns to the heart of the 1843 story – of what its author called “a ghost story for Christmas.” (The original title page of A Christmas Carol is pictured above.) Produced by Quicksilver Radio Theater, seasoned New York actors, and talented engineers.
