PRESCOTT — Sharlot Hall Museum will bring a classic holiday story to the stage in the style of an old-time radio broadcast with “A Prescott Christmas Carol,” scheduled for Dec. 10, 2026.
The event, titled “Sharlot’s Live Radio Theatre Presents: ‘A Prescott Christmas Carol,’” is described by the museum as an evening of festive fun, laughter and classic storytelling. The reader’s theater production will feature a cast of local theater favorites performing Charles Dickens’ beloved Christmas tale.
Rather than presenting the story as a conventional stage production, the event will recreate the atmosphere of radio’s golden age. Local performers will gather around microphones to create the characters and voices of the story, with nostalgic sound effects helping bring the production to life.
Audience participation will also be part of the experience. The museum says the presentation is intended both for people who know every word of Dickens’ timeless tale and for those experiencing the story anew.
Two performance times are listed: 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. The event listing gives an overall time of 5 to 8:30 p.m. at Sharlot Hall Museum in Prescott.
The museum describes the program as a holiday experience for families and friends and invites attendees to make the festive evening part of their holiday traditions. The event is listed under the Festivals category.
“A Prescott Christmas Carol” centers on the familiar Christmas story while emphasizing the distinctive format of live radio theater. With performers creating characters at microphones and sound effects performed as part of the presentation, the production is designed to let audiences imagine the action through voices and sounds as well as storytelling.
Additional information about the performance date, ticket information and other event details is listed as forthcoming by Sharlot Hall Museum. The current event information identifies Dec. 10 as the date and lists the two performance times, but does not provide ticket details.
The presentation is one of the museum’s scheduled events and is billed as “A Prescott Christmas Carol,” starring local theater favorites. The program combines a classic literary work with a live broadcast-style performance, offering a holiday-themed evening in Prescott for those interested in theater, storytelling and the traditions of old-time radio.
More details are expected from Sharlot Hall Museum as the event approaches.
