Staples Players Radio Presents: A Christmas Carol, tonight at 6
Adapting to the changes in the world amidst a pandemic, the Staples Players will be performing live on-air tonight starting at 6:00 PM on WWPT Radio. The actresses and actors will be presenting their take on A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens. The series of live radio broadcasts, including The Wizard of Oz and It’s a Wonderful Life, have been given high praise by listeners who, despite a pandemic, are still able to enjoy live theater by the widely renowned high school acting group.
Although not in the Staples High School auditorium, families are able to get into the holiday spirit while gathering around the speakers by listening to the stream live from the WWPT website. More information on this year’s season, and how you can support the Staples Players, can be found on the Staples Players website.
