A staged radio play production of the classic holiday movie:  At the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, the actor playing Santa is found to be drunk by a white-bearded old gentleman. Doris Walker, the store’s no nonsense special events director, persuades the old man to take his place. The mystery man proves a sensation and is quickly recruited to be Macy’s store Santa. While he is successful, Ms. Walker learns that he calls himself Kris Kringle and he claims to be the real Santa Claus. But of course he couldn’t be… could he?
Cast includes: Mara Bayewitz, Maya Gensler, David Landstrom, Kristie Bryant Milewski, Kathryn Murphy Ryan, Mark Shullenbarger, Ed Silverstein, Bill Spitz, John Van Eck.

In The Arkansaw Bear, the young Tish meets the World’s Greatest Dancing Bear and an apprentice dancing bear. The three of them, with help from Star Light/Star Bright, a majestic Ringmaster, and an energetic mime, discover new things about each other, learn how to remember loved ones together, and revel in the joys of family both present and past. Suitable for children 7 and above.
