The Holiday Radio Show: 1944

December 5, 2010 – January 4, 2020

by Gabriella Bonamici, André Richardson Hogan II, Laura Scruggs, Rolfe Sick and Jason Paul Smith

Critics are raving:

“Even standard repertoire takes on a fresh energy with jazz arrangements by music director/arranger Roy Freeman, like the “Angel” medley combining the “Hark! The Herald” and “We Have Heard on High” carols rendered with a hint of boogie-woogie tempo.” ~ Mary Shen Barnidge, Windy City Times

 

Three Cat Production is thrilled to announce the return of the hit show “The Holiday Radio Show: 1944”. The Holiday Radio Show takes us to the final Christmas of World War II. Featuring stories by Charles Dickens, Hans Christian Andersen, Augustus M Hodges, Clement C. Moore and more. Join us for drama, wacky humor, adorable actors, and some truly transcendent three-part harmony that will chase away your “I Can’t Believe It’s the Holidays Again” blues.

directed by Jason Paul Smith
musical direction and arrangements by Roy A. Freeman
Featuring:
Lauren Miller, Beverly Munro, Dorothy Owen, Sarah Seidler, and Maiko Terazawa
