🎙️ MEET THE DIRECTOR Brandon Wentz 🎄📻
What makes A CHRISTMAS CAROL: A LIVE RADIO PLAY different from a traditional production of the holiday classic? For director Brandon Wentz, it starts with the world of radio.
Brandon holds an MFA in acting and has worked as a performer, director, and educator. He also co-founded Critshow Studios, an Indianapolis-based recording studio where he produces and hosts the RPG actual-play podcast "The Critshow" and several audio dramas.
So for Brandon's MSP directorial debut, a live radio play is a particularly fitting project. He said: “The frame of the show is a 1940s radio station and we treat the audience like the live studio audience. Dozens of characters, live foley, sponsor breaks, and a classic tale told through the lens of radioland.”
