Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society: Holiday Spirits

A Live Staged Radio Drama

The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society presents a new 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) The Plays: “Smee” from The Weird Library: An innocent party game leads to dark revelations in this swift and spooky adaptation of A.M. Burrage’s 1931 Christmas classic. “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.

“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
