For the first time in its 44-year history, the Bay Area’s favorite holiday tradition comes to life as a fantastical immersive audio event—A Christmas Carol: On Air.
Reimagined as a spatially-designed radio play for our virtual era, and adapted from the critically-acclaimed stage production seen by over half a million theatergoers, A Christmas Carol: On Air invites you and your household to gather together to take in this timeless story of optimism and humbugs, memories and redemptions, spooky presents and hopeful futures.
Available to stream on-demand through your laptop, smartphone or mirrored to your SmartTV, this auditory treat of a holiday tale features a stunning cast, merry melodies, dizzying sound effects, and the perfect way to create new memories with those you love.
Masterfully adapted and directed by Peter J. Kuo—using Dickens’s original text and adaptation by Paul Walsh and Carey Perloff—this entirely new experience based on the Bay Area’s most beloved holiday event will delight you and your family.
Don’t miss this thrilling opportunity to invite Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, those spooky holiday ghosts, and everyone’s favorite curmudgeon Ebenezer Scrooge into your home this holiday season with the premiere of A Christmas Carol: On Air.
All titles, schedules, and artists are subject to change.
