277564_JSJC1120250614055The Actor’s Theater of Orcas Island is proud to continue its holiday tradition of a radio version of a classic Christmas show. This year we are presenting our radio version of A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens. There are only three performances, so get your tickets early!
The cast of all local performers includes many of your favorite actors and a healthy helping of new talent that will be gracing Orcas Island stages for years to come. A particularly enjoyable feature of our radio play performances is the live generated sound effects that place you amidst the settings being depicted.
All the beloved characters from A Christmas Carol (Bob Cratchett, Tiny Tim) and those not so beloved (Marley’s ghost, Scrooge, Christmas Future) are there to tell the story of Scrooge, who long ago abandoned love and instead chose a lonely existence to pursue riches. On Christmas eve, he is visited by his dead business partner’s ghost – Marley. Marley admits his own wrong choices in life and warns Scrooge that he will be visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. They appear and show Scrooge the life he could have had, the one he now has, and the future he will have – unless he changes his ways.
Come join us at the Grange stage to laugh, cry, enjoy, applaud and maybe even boo (no offense to the ghosts) at our radio play version of A Christmas Carol. Bring the whole family for this classic of Christmas literature.
Performances are at 7:00 PM Friday and Saturday, December 12 and 13. The show will close on Sunday, December 14 with a matinee performance at 1:00 PM. Tickets are $15.00. available online through Brown Paper Tickets, at Darvill’s bookstore, and at the Grange door.

Actors Theater of Orcas Island (ATOI) is excited to announce their first gala fundraiser — ORCAS SINGS B’WAY! — to be held at the Grange on Saturday, October 25th at 7pm. Please join us for the show of a lifetime as your friends and neighbors sing their hearts out performing their favorite Broadway songs! Who knew that the guy who built your deck has a great baritone voice or that the young woman who cleans your house has perfect comic timing?
We have more than 16 Orcas locals who have summoned up their courage to present songs from a variety of Broadway shows including “West Side Story”, “Oklahoma”, “Hamilton”, “Little Shop of Horrors”, “Wicked” and many more.
Some great Orcas cooks are planning refreshments for your enjoyment during the evening — including, yes, Paula’s cookies — and generous Orcas donors are providing a selection of wines.
Tickets for the evening are $45. All funds go to support ATOI, the non-profit group whose mission is to enhance our island with performances, education, and community building.
Tickets are available now, online at Brown Paper Tickets, or at Darvill’s Bookstore.
Deathtrap by Ira Levin
Deathtrap is a 1978 American Play written by Ira Levin with multiple plot twists driving its play within a play story. It is in two acts with one set and five characters. It holds the record for the longest-running comedy-thriller on Broadway and was nominated for four Tony Awards including Best Play.
Dorrie Braun and Aaimee Johnson are the leads with Suzanne Gropper, eM Velasco, and Don Yerly in strong support. The play is as wonderfully funny as it is dark. The acting is excellent and the story is great!
Tickets can be purchased at the door, at Darvill’s Bookstore or online here through Brown Paper Tickets. Opening night attendees get a Paula’s Famous Cookie for free!
