Tidings and Tinsel, on Saturday, December 7 at 5 p.m., is a lavish pre-show party to raise funds for Evansville Community Theatre. Tickets are $25 for elaborate holiday appetizers and desserts. Show tickets for Saturday are sold separately.

Audiences always enjoy the tailor-written radio ads for local sponsors performed live during each show.

Advance tickets are not needed for the Pay What You Can show on December 5. All tickets for the Thursday show are at the door and are cash or check only.

A Christmas Carol radio drama is by Philip Grecian, based upon his play and the novel by Charles Dickens. The original Dickens story is all here: Scrooge turns away charity workers and bullies his clerk, Bob Cratchit. His dead partner Jacob Marley makes a visit while the sound effects crew shakes chains and the organist plays eerie chords. The Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge to Fezziwig's party, The Ghost of Christmas Present leads him through the streets of London, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows Scrooge his fate if he doesnt change.
