Description

Susanne Tenpenny
35 minute comedy
4 men, 4 women, 8 either

The Midnight Rider is headed your way. Quick! Turn on the ‘radio’ to experience this delightful Christmas Eve comedy. Performing before live radio audiences, seniors will carry its listeners across the starry skies with the jolly ole’ man in the red suit. But this year, tradition is swept aside, when the Midnight Rider adopts a new team of transportation, encounters unique celebrities and plunges down unpredictable chimneys. This compelling radio play, enhanced by jazzy, background music, invites toe tapping. Following or during the show, performers can lead the audience in the singing of traditional Christmas carols.

Now with cues for sound effects!

This play is WONDERFUL! Linda B., Senior Center Director

I love this play! Susanne takes us on a whirlwind ride filled with unexpected stops and a surprising array of dynamic characters. I laughed uproariously. I highly recommend it! Reverand S. Bowman
