Significance
This is the third year offering "A Radio Christmas Carol" as a live, community performance. And, the third year for collaboration between Re-Imagined Radio, The Willamette Radio Workshop, and Kiggins Theatre.
Producer's Notes
The Willamette Radio Workshop's performance is based on the December 23, 1938 episode of The Campbell Playhouse starring Orson Welles as Ebeneezer Scrooge, and featuring other members of the former The Mercury Theatre on the Air. Following the response to the October 30, 1938 radio adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel The War of the Worlds, Campbell Soup became the sponsor for Mercury Theatre on the Air. The program name was changed to The Campbell Playhouse. The first performance under this new name was "Rebecca," December 9, 1938.
