BEDFORD – As the holiday season approaches, Continental Broadcasting prepares to make its mark with an all-star Christmas performance that blends nostalgia, humor, and heart. Set against the backdrop of Christmas Eve 1946, this unique live production is a celebration of the season and a nod to the Golden Age of Radio, when families gathered around their radios to listen to festive broadcasts that captured the magic of Christmas.
This year, however, there is an added sense of urgency: Continental Broadcasting’s future is uncertain. Once a titan of the airwaves, the network struggles to stay afloat, making this year’s annual Christmas program potentially its last. Yet, in true holiday spirit, the cast and crew are determined to create a show filled with joy, humor, and hope.
Created by Joe Voris, Becky Muncy, and Penny May, the original production promises a delightful mix of music, comedy, and a heartwarming story that mirrors the challenges of the times. The characters in this holiday extravaganza—an eclectic group of performers—will come together in their search for the true meaning of Christmas, overcoming obstacles in a way that will resonate with audiences of all ages.
This special performance, which will take place on Saturday, November 30, at 7:30 p.m. in Brinegar Hall at Stonegate Arts and Education Center, is free to attend, though seats are limited. The show will be held on a first-come, first-served basis, so early arrival is recommended for those hoping to secure a spot at this one-of-a-kind event.
The all-star Christmas program promises an evening full of joy and reflection, perfect for ushering in the holiday season. The organizers are hopeful that despite the network’s current struggles, this Christmas broadcast will remind audiences of the power of community, the resilience of the human spirit, and the timeless magic of Christmas.
Don’t miss out on this heartwarming performance—celebrate the season and perhaps witness a historic broadcast that could mark the end of an era for Continental Broadcasting.
