A LIVE Old Time Holiday Radio Show!

Show Information

Step Back Into a 1940s Holiday Broadcast – Live! Parker Players Theater Company invites you to be part of the studio audience for two classic holiday radio comedies brought to life on stage:

• Fibber McGee & Molly: Fibber Paints a Christmas Tree

• The Jack Benny Program: Jack Benny Buys Shoelaces for Don

With a spectacular cast, authentic live sound effects, and our theater transformed into a vintage radio studio, you’ll laugh, cheer, and experience the magic of being in the action—just like they did in the golden age of radio. Directed by Julie Price. Come celebrate the joy of the season with a double dose of holiday nostalgia and plenty of laughter. Get your tickets and join us for a cozy, old-time radio Christmas!

Fibber McGee & Molly: “Fibber Paints a Christmas Tree” Fibber’s holiday spirit turns into holiday chaos when he decides to paint the Christmas tree himself. Expect mishaps, mischief, and classic Fibber-and-Molly banter as the festive season goes gloriously off the rails.

The Jack Benny Program: “Jack Benny Buys Shoelaces for Don” A simple shopping trip for a pair of shoelaces becomes a comedy of penny-pinching, misunderstandings, and surprise encounters in true Jack Benny style. Watch holiday generosity (and Jack’s tight wallet) collide for laugh-out-loud results.

Estimated Run Time: 1 hour and 30 minutes with no intermission
