It’s the Golden Age of Radio, and a local station is celebrating the 100-year anniversary of the publication of Dickens’ beloved classic A Christmas Carol with a live broadcast. In this brand-new adaptation by Lunchbox Artistic Director Bronwyn Steinberg, three multi-talented actors take on the story’s iconic characters while also creating the foley sound effects live on stage.
