Performance set for the Kiggins Theatre on Thu., Dec. 20
VANCOUVER — A Radio Christmas Carol, a live radio drama led by John Barber, professor in the Creative Media & Digital Culture program at Washington State University Vancouver, returns to the Kiggins Theatre in downtown Vancouver on Thu., Dec. 20. Featuring local voice actors and sound artists, the show will be performed once only.
Doors open at 6 p.m. for the pre-show, with the performance at 7 p.m. This marks the sixth year for Re-Imagined Radio’s “A Radio Christmas Carol.”
“Beyond entertainment, our live performance is both an exploration of how the original radio drama might have been produced, and an effort to promote civic engagement through community art and performances,” Barber said.
Tickets are available for $8 in advance online at kigginstheatre.com, or for $12 at the door the night of the performance. Concessions, beer and wine will be available for purchase before and during the performance.
Re-Imagined Radio is a partnership between Barber, Kiggins Theatre, KXRW Radio, Metropolitan Performing Arts, and the Creative Media & Digital Culture Program at WSU Vancouver.
