The Big Broadcast of 1941

“A Christmas Dessert Theater

The Big Christmas Broadcast of 1941 is musical about family and Hope in the Golden Days of Radio. 

Christmas has always been a special time for me – I can still remember as a little boy playing those old 33rmp records of Brenda Lee, Nat King Cole, and Bing Crosby as they sang some of our favorite Christmas songs.  Even today many of our Christmas favorites are still some of those classics that came right out of the 1940’s.  A time when our world faced some of it’s greatest challenges of war and sacrifice for the welfare of our great country.

The Big Christmas Broadcast of 1941 - begins on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1941 and follows a family and their neighbors over an eleven day adventure leading up to the fateful day of December 7, 1941.  Days not unlike our days today.   It’s a musical full of laughter, classic radio broadcasts like “The Shadow” and “Fibber McGee and Molly”,  and includes some of the wonderful Christmas music of the 40’s.  “I’ll be Home for Christmas”, “Toyland” and a delightful medley of Christmas favorites! 

We invite our audiences to laugh with us, to reflect with us, and ultimately be filled with a great hope, the hope that was born in Bethlehem so long ago. 

On this the 70^th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor - Be our guests, December 7^th through 11^th for this very special Christmas Dessert Theater.  This is a musical you won’t want to miss!
