Osceola Arts’ recent production of Jersey Boys was a sold-out success, but if you missed it, you can still catch the next exciting show: A 1940’s Radio Christmas Carol, running from December 6 to December 22, 2024. Set on Christmas Eve, 1943, this production takes you back in time with the Feddington Players, who bring a unique twist to Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol” during a chaotic live radio broadcast in Newark, NJ.
The story takes a dramatic turn when William St. Claire, a veteran actor but newcomer to radio, faces a personal crisis on air, blending his life story with Dickens’s tale. The cast improvises through various mishaps, leading to a suspenseful, film noir-inspired finale that promises plenty of mystery, humor, and heartfelt moments.
This musical, featuring original songs by Faye Greenberg and David Wohl (of High School Musical fame), also includes swing versions of beloved Christmas classics. The show offers a perfect mix of drama, comedy, and holiday cheer for the entire family.
