“I heard a bird sing in the dark of December. A magical thing. And sweet to remember. We are nearer to Spring than we were in September. I heard a bird sing in the dark of December.”
― Oliver Herford

Even though we are still unable to safely invite patrons to join us for theatre in person, through the hard work and efforts of local and regional actors and singers working remotely and individually, we have created our second radio theatre episode just in time for the Christmas.

The talented organist Juan Cardona wrote: "What a cute and heartwarming story, and I loved the radio style presentation along with the commercials!!!
I only could pick out some of the actors by their voices that I know very well, but some of the actors I don't personally know so I would not be able to win any tickets to Mamma Mia!!! But I will still be there to see your production of it!!"

I found the story very charming and I could pick out the wonderful actor Steve Sorriero in one of the commercials.

This production is free but donations to The Arts at Angeloria's via check, Venmo, or Paypal would be happily accepted. Happy holidays, one and all! Stay safe and be well! Peace and love!
