oo
Smith Street Stage, the wonderful theatre group which has brought Shakespeare to Carroll Park in Carroll Gardens for the last few summers, is presenting A Christmas Carol: A Radio Play at the Pearl Theatre on 42nd Street in Manhattan.
Smith Street Stage has performed the play in 2012 and 2013 in Carroll Park's park house, but got the opportunity to perform in a bigger venue in Manhattan this time around.  But don't worry, the group will be back for some more Shakespeare in our park in 2015.

"A troupe of 1940’s radio actors meet in the studio on Christmas Eve to bring to life the characters and soundscapes of Dickens’ classic Christmas tale. The audience is invited to engage on two levels: Watch the goings-on at the 1940’s radio studio as this group of actors must work together to create a very special Christmas Eve radio performance; or listen to the world of 19th Century London come to life and get swept up in Scrooge’s miraculous Christmas transformation.

Set in the 1940’s, a time when radio was reshaping imaginative storytelling, Smith Street Stage’s production of A Christmas Carol brings to life multiple layers of Christmas cheer and nostalgia. The setting of the 1940’s radio studio will deliver the spirit and glamour of Christmas Eve in New York City. The retelling of Dickens’ story will inspire the warm feeling of a family Christmas around the fireplace."
