A Christmas Carol
Introduction
In the midst of distance learning and a global pandemic, many ERHS students missed socializing with friends, and the creative freedom of theater. So, our department decided to try something new: Roosevelt Theatre's first ever radio production! Our goal was to create a unique and fun performance experience in ERHS Theatre fashion, available for everyone to enjoy for free. The production came together virtually over November to December 2020, with all the episodes released in the two weeks leading up to Christmas. Please enjoy the episodes below, or check out the full production on the home page or our Youtube channel.
