Step Back Into a 1940s
Holiday Broadcast – Live!

Parker Players Theater Company invites you to be part of the studio audience for two classic holiday radio comedies brought to life on stage:
 

Fibber McGee & Molly: Fibber Paints a Christmas Tree

The Jack Benny Program: Jack Benny Buys Shoelaces for Don

With a spectacular cast, authentic live sound effects, and our theater transformed into a vintage radio studio, you’ll laugh, cheer, and experience the magic of being in the action—just like they did in the golden age of radio.

Fibber McGee & Molly:
“Fibber Paints a Christmas Tree”

Fibber’s holiday spirit turns into holiday chaos when he decides to paint the Christmas tree himself. Expect mishaps, mischief, and classic Fibber-and-Molly banter as the festive season goes gloriously off the rails.

The Jack Benny Program:
“Jack Benny Buys Shoelaces for Don”

A simple shopping trip for a pair of shoelaces becomes a comedy of penny-pinching, misunderstandings, and surprise encounters in true Jack Benny style. Watch holiday generosity (and Jack’s tight wallet) collide for laugh-out-loud results.

This Holiday Production is Family Friendly!
