The Hampton Theatre Company will continue its tradition of presenting live radio plays during the holiday season with an encore production of “A Christmas Carol: A Live Radio Play,” which will have three performances this weekend at the Quogue Community Hall.

Adapted from the Charles Dickens novel by Joe Landry, a playwright, with music by Kevin Connors, the production, which runs 45 to 60 minutes, is presented as a Christmas Eve installment of WBFR’s weekly “Playhouse of the Air” series. As such, it will recreate for live audiences the energy of a 1940s-era radio troupe, complete with music and sound effects generated onstage and in the booth. A singalong will cap off the celebration.

The cast includes Andrew Botsford, Rosemary Cline, Matthew Conlon, Terrance Fiore, Amanda Griemsmann, George A. Loizides, Catherine Maloney, and Roger Moley, each of whom will play multiple roles in period costumes on a set depicting the fictional WBFR radio station in New York City.

The production is directed by Mr. Botsford, with lighting by Sebastian Paczynski and costumes by Teresa Lebrun.

“A Christmas Carol: A Radio Play” follows in the footsteps of earlier holiday radio plays presented by the company over the years, with other adaptations ranging from “Miracle on 34th Street” to “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Performances will be Friday at 7 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday at 2:30. Patrons have been encouraged to arrive early to enjoy complimentary hot chocolate and cookies before the show.

Tickets are $18 and available from hamptontheatre.org or by calling 631-653-8955.
