For many people, Christmas conjures up visions of Santa Claus in his red suit, reindeer dashing across the sky, snowmen in top hats, and presents under twinkling trees. Yet it’s also rich with sound — carolers singing, sleigh bells jingling, crackling fires, a hearty “ho, ho, ho” from jolly St. Nick and “A Christmas Carol,” playing on the radio.
This holiday season, the Gypsy Theatre Guild brings Charles Dickens’ classic, famously dramatized for the radio and narrated by Orson Welles and featuring Lionel Barrymore as Ebenezer Scrooge in 1939, to the airwaves on Christmas Eve.
Although it’s a radio show, the Flathead Valley community theater company performed and recorded it in front of audiences in a decked-out Conrad Mansion. The radio recording will be broadcast on KGEZ and linked online at the Daily Inter Lake's YouTube channel.
