Christmas Carol (Thursday-Sunday 11/13-11/16)
This holiday season, EIU's theatre department will be putting on a live radio play performance of Tony Palermo's radio drama adaptation of the classic Charles Dickens' Christmas story. This adaptation has been performed countless times by Hollywood professionals, radio stations, and many more. While it is particularly well suited for the radio, radio plays are amazing to watch unfold live with verbatim Dickens dialogue and foley sound. The Theatre Department's performance is directed by Christopher Gadomski, a Theatre professor, and Mitch Cox, an EIU theatre student. Don't be a Scrooge this holiday season and make sure to watch EIU's Theatre Department's Christmas Carol in Doudna's Black Box Theatre Thursday through Saturday, November 13 through 15 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, November 16 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 for general admission and $5 for EIU students.
