Step back in time and experience the magic of live radio theatre at CAP Radio Hour – Live! In this special event, our young performers will bring classic holiday tales to life—’Twas the Night Before Christmas, The Little Drummer Boy, and Gruber’s Silent Night—all performed as radio plays. From the voices to the sound effects, the kids will handle it all, including creating every footstep, door creak, and jingling bell through hands-on foley artistry. It’s an evening where imagination fills in the pictures, and families get a front-row seat to see how radio stories were once made. Join us for this festive celebration of storytelling, creativity, and holiday spirit—perfect for audiences of all ages!
