Step back in time for a heartwarming holiday experience – the long-awaited sequel to the popular The 1940s Radio Hour.

Whether it’s the noisy plumbing, missed cues, electrical blackouts or the over-the-top theatrics of veteran actor and radio novice William St. Claire, "A 1940s Radio Christmas Carol" is an entertaining excursion into the mayhem and madness of a live radio show.
