A CHRISTMAS CAROL…ON THE AIR!
with The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18
SHOWTIME: 7:00 PM – DOORS OPEN AT 6:00 PM
TICKETS: $30-$40
The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society presents its own adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, performed in the style of an old-time radio broadcast, complete with vintage commercials and live sound effects!
It’s an “entertaining and creepy homage to an era gone by” (Cherry and Spoon), brought to life by veteran Twin Cities performers Shanan Custer, Joshua English Scrimshaw, Tim Uren, and Eric Webster, who “use their voices to paint a picture so vivid that if you close your eyes, you can see the action in your mind’s eye.” (Stages of Minnesota)
“A Christmas Carol” from The Mysterious Theater On The Air: Once upon a time, on Christmas Eve, Ebenezer Scrooge was visited by three spirits… and the rest is history, or is it? Charles Dickens’ timeless holiday tale, adapted for audio by Joshua English Scrimshaw.
PREVIOUS PRAISE FOR THE MYSTERIOUS OLD RADIO LISTENING SOCIETY:
“Shanan Custer, Joshua English Scrimshaw, Tim Uren, and Eric Webster have this down cold — not just the technical aspect, but the tone… Chilling as it might be to experience these tales (complete with old-school ads) alone in the dark, it’s much more fun to experience them with a crowd.” –City Pages
“An artisanal, old-school way of making entertainment… The fun is in watching these fine actors work almost exclusively with their voices … and to see them create a sepia-toned world with handmade sound effects.” – Pioneer Press
“This show is an entertaining and creepy homage to an era gone by, that of the radio drama. The creators of this show have a podcast of the same name… and their love for and knowledge of the genre is evident… There’s a reason these radio horror shows were so popular, and happily they continue to exist in some form today thanks to Ghoulish Delights.” –Cherry and Spoon
