AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT!
The Northeast Texas Community College Theatre Department is thrilled to announce the return of live theatre! Our first performance will be a new radio play called A 1940s Christmas Carol.
A LITTE ABOUT THE PLAY:
“It’s December 1940 and KFLG AM Radio in Kansas City, Kansas is about to perform the classic tale A Christmas Carolfor listening audiences. But! Ten minutes before show time, the cast learns that they will have to go on without their sound engineer and all the sound equipment. Scrambling to find anything that will make a sound and attempting to make those sounds on the fly, the cast endeavors to forge ahead, perform the show, and make the best of a crazy situation. Audiences of all ages will enjoy this hilarious, fast-paced comedy.”
