Summary:
Gather 'round the radio for a sentimental journey back to those unforgettable days gone by ... A musical collage in the spirit of Thornton Wilder's play Our town, A December to remember is a theatrical scrapbook of memories from Midwestern American family life, circa 1943 ... a time when the radio connected the hearts of all Americans to the leader of the nation, to our brave men and women in the armed forces, and to the larger world--in this case, the world of glorious music from the rich European heritage. This original production is a treat for all ages, featuring popular holiday favorites, beloved carols, and inspirational classics, including glorious selections from Handel's Messiah, Bach's Christmas oratorio, and Menotti's Amahl and the night visitors. A warm, wonderful celebration that's sure to become an annual family tradition!
