CYGNET RADIO HOUR

A Christmas Carol. Charles Dicken’s classic Christmas tale is brought to life by a cast of seven using an original script by Lisa Barck Garofalo, a cofounder of Portland’s New Rose Theatre. In this production, Dickens himself narrates the action, giving extra resonance to his vivid characters and the glorious renaissance of Ebenezer Scrooge.

CYGNET RADIO HOUR

Find yourself transported into the front room of the Brontë Parsonage in Haworth where your hostesses Audrey and Olivia will lead you on a romp through the lives and letters of Charlotte Brontë (author of Jane Eyre) and Emily Brontë (best known for Wuthering Heights)—with a few zany detours. The duo's blundering comedy is right out of the British farce playbook.
