Christmas wouldn’t be the same without A Christmas Carol.

And this weekend, Long Beach Shakespeare Company offers their unique approach to Dickens’ beloved classic.

They’ll be giving three performances of their annual live radio-theatre version of Dickens’ story of Old Scrooge, his mean and miserly ways and his supernatural redemption, this  Friday, Saturday and Sunday, December 17th through 19th.

LBSCs radio-style “Carol” is especially interesting as the audience gets to see the Foley crew at work, creating sound effects as the performance happens.   Their voice actors are excellent (unsurprisingly), and the company, which includes both union and non-union professionals, obviously loves what they’re doing.

And–there will be a livestream, for those of us who are isolating!   Here’s the link.

Meanwhile, if you’re in Long Beach, consider celebrating with Long Beach’s only full-time classical theatre company, as they bring Old Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim et al to life for Christmas season 2023.

Long Beach Shakespeare Company’s radio-style performances of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” happen tonight, Friday, December 15th at 8 pm; Saturday, December 16th at 8 pm; and their matinee performance takes place this Sunday, December 17th at 2 pm at the Helen Borgers Theatre, 4250 Atlantic Avenue, between Burlinghall and Cartagena.  Here’s the link for information.
