The Summerland Singers and Players will celebrate the age of radio as they stage A Christmas Carol: A Live Radio Play.

The play is based on the heyday of radio, when dramas, comedies and other forms of entertainment could be heard. Many shows were broadcast in front of a live studio audience.

The rendition of the Charles Dickens holiday classic will feature five actors bringing to life more than 30 characters.

They will perform in front of old-style microphones and will be wearing clothing from the 1940s.

On one side of the stage, a foley artist will use a variety of objects and materials to produce the needed sound effects such as doorbells and chimes to rattling chains and howling ghosts.

There will also be commercials with advertising jingles.
