Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol at a time when the British were
examining and exploring Christmas traditions.  He was influenced by his
own past, and by stories of other authors.  He wrote this story
following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, an establishment for
London's half-starved, illiterate street children.

Treatment of
the poor, and the ability of a self-interested codger to change into a
more sympathetic character are the key themes.

Ebeneezer Scrooge
doesn't like holidays, employees, or letting go of his money!  He has
not a drop of human kindness.  One Christmas Eve he comes face-to-face
with his past, present...and future!  Can he find compassion in his
heart for his poor employee?  Is it possible to change, to give
generously, and to be happy?

Come experience this classic as a
patron in a radio station's audience, viewing the actors, microphones,
singers, and sound effects as they make this story come alive.  If, for
just a moment, you close your eyes and simply listen, you'll feel like
you're there with Ebeneezer!

Since its writing in 1844, A
Christmas Carol has never been out of print.  Please join us as we tell
