Home to Oregon and Northwest Playwrights
On a snowy Christmas eve in 1941, the weather has made traveling to the radio station difficult for the actors of Salem's own KSL. They are to perform A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, a well-loved radio tradition in the sleepy town of Salem, Oregon. Trouble ensues when the new Foley sound effects gal arrives late, setting off a series of comic mishaps.
Join Theatre 33 for the return of A Christmas Carol, A 1940's Radio Show, where hope and redemption are not only found in the Dickens story but in the radio actors themselves. Four actors bring dozens of Dickens' characters to life in this fresh look at a timeless tale.
Theatre 33, in residence at Willamette University, is a new play development company that helps Oregon/NW playwrights develop their new scripts from our 60-hour rehearsed workshop production (fully designed lights, sound, props, set, costumes, entirely staged with scripts in hand), to a world premiere full production.
Theatre 33 - 2023 Summer New Play Festival is supported by a grant from Transient Occupancy Tax from the City of Salem.
