Christmas Drama

It’s Christmas time, December, 1944. Longsuffering Alice Kensington finds herself in the midst of a battle to keep her tiny station, W-O-R-D, on the air. She’s planned a special holiday show with her diverse staff of decidedly not-ready-for-prime time radio players, including a dyslexic sound man, a poetry/drama queen, and a pompous actor who has written a new radio play retelling the Nativity as a hard-boiled detective story. If that’s not bad enough, everyone’s hopes are dashed when an anticipated visit from the famous singing Andrews Sisters turns out to be the not-so-famous Epstein Cousins.
In the midst of all the chaos, we meet an Army hero who has lost more than his arm, he’s lost his faith. Add in an impressionable young man dreaming of war’s glory, a lonely orphan boy, and a young wife whose husband is missing in action, and we realize this special show is more important than ever.
Drama is December 2-3, starting at 7pm each night.
