Be a part of the live audience as the Orpheum Theatre hosts its holiday tradition radio play Christmas on the Air next week.
The radio play brings holiday stories to life as a small cast of actors perform them at an array of old-fashioned microphones with live sound effects, musical underscoring, vintage commercials, and more.
