An NBHS Drama Club first!  This year's production will be presented in the style of a radio play.  Join us for this unique, audio experience recorded live with student actors and student Foley artists creating sound effects in real time.

Foley is the art of man-made sound effects.  Invented by Jack Foley in the 1950s, Foley artists work to perform sound effects live and synchronously with a filmed performance.  Did you know that many of the sounds you hear in film and tv weren't recorded live by the actors, but were added in post-production by a specially trained Foley artist?

This production of "The Match Girl's Gift: A Christmas Story" is presented in the style of a Radio Drama, a popular family pastime.  We invite you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the sounds of this heart-warming performance.  ​

"On Christmas Eve 1898, in the heart of New York City, a gentle snowfall turns fashionable Washington Square into the very picture of a Currier and Ives holiday print, except … huddled by the steps of an elegant brownstone is a ragged little girl. When her Gran arrives bringing her a gift of "waking dreams" that help her imagine what might be, Lizzie, the match girl, goes into the grand house and offers a unique gift to the family inside. Encouraged by Pitch, the climbing boy, and Henry, the confused young gentleman who lives in the grand house, Lizzie recognizes her own beauty and realizes that without our dreams for the future, we are without hope. This inspiring retelling of a classic story empowers Hans Christian Andersen's little match girl to triumph over despair through the power of belief and the pursuit of dreams. Commissioned and premiered by Nashville Children's Theatre."
