“A Christmas Carol: A Live Radio Play”
December 12-14Building on a holiday tradition in Quogue, the Hampton Theatre Company will once again present “A Christmas Carol: A Live Radio Play” on the stage of the Quogue Community Hall for one weekend only, December 12-14, 2025.
Adapted from the timeless Charles Dickens novel by playwright Joe Landry, with music by Kevin Connors, this family-friendly version (approximately 45-60 minutes) will recreate for live audiences the convivial energy of a ‘40s-era radio troupe, complete with music and sound effects generated onstage and in the booth. Complimentary cookies and hot chocolate and a joyous singalong with the troupe will complete the celebration.
Actors from the HTC family of players—including Andrew Botsford, Rosemary Cline, George A. Loizides, Nicholas Auletti, Scott Butler, Stephanie Moreau and Lindsey Sanchez—will each take on multiple roles in the story and present vintage radio commercials, performing in period costumes on a set depicting the studio of the fictional “WBFR” radio station in 1940s New York City.
Presented as a Christmas Eve installment of WBFR’s weekly “Playhouse of the Air” series, “A Christmas Carol” serves up the timeless story of Ebenezer Scrooge, the inveterate miser from London who learns the meaning of charity and kindness over the course of one spooky and miraculous Christmas Eve, complete with visitations by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future.
The production is directed by Andrew Botsford, with incidental music recorded by Dee Laveglia, lighting by Sebastian Paczynski and costumes by Teresa LeBrun.
“A Christmas Carol: A Live Radio Play” will be performed at the Quogue Community Hall (125 Jessup Avenue in Quogue) on Friday, December 12, at 7; Saturday, December 13, at 2:30; and Sunday, December 15, also at 2:30. Patrons are encouraged to arrive 30 minutes prior to the performance to enjoy complimentary hot cocoa and cookies served before the show.

WE HEARD YOU!
when you said it was sometimes hard to hearthe actors in our productions… So we want to be sure
you hear us! For last season’s production of “Now and Then,” the Hampton Theatre Company purchased four wireless personal microphones for the members of the cast – the first phase of a plan to acquire a total of 16 microphones over the next year and a half. Having a full complement of wireless microphones and supporting equipment will ensure that every performer in an HTC production will be wearing a wireless microphone, providing superior sound quality and increased reliability. A boon to actors and audiences alike, the new system will greatly enhance audio output and the ability of all our guests to hear every word the performers speak, regardless of where you sit in the theater. With ticket sales covering only about 50 percent of expenses for our professional company, the balance is made up by ads in our programs and donations from generous theatergoers. With a projected cost of $32,000 for our complete microphone system, we are reaching out to our theatre family to assist us once again. Please consider becoming an “Audio Angel” by making a donation to our dedicated microphone fund by clicking on the button below or mailing your donation to Hampton Theatre Company, P.O. Box 400, Quogue, NY 11959. Audio Angels will be listed in our Season 41 programs, as well as on the Hampton Theatre Company website. Many thanks!
Give the Gift of LIVE THEATRE!
