Significance
This is the second year offering "A Radio Christmas Carol" as a live, community performance. And, the second year for collaboration between Re-Imagined Radio, The Willamette Radio Workshop, and Kiggins Theatre.
Producer's Notes
This is the second year for Re-Imagined Radio. And our second year offering "A Christmas Carol" as a holiday episode. It feels as if we may be beginning a community tradition.
Re-Imagined Radio began in 2013 as a project focused on combining multimedia and curation through the re-creation of radio stories as interactive installations and live social performance works.
Looking ahead, we plan to offer "The Case Files of Dr. Moreau" in Spring 2015. This will be another
collaboration between Willamette Radio Workshop, Kiggins Theatre, and the Creative Media & Digital
Culture program at Washington State University Vancouver.
