"Twist of the Magi" starts with O'Henry's classic short story, "Gift of the Magi", then sets it in an authentic 1940's radio station as a live, on-air broadcast. Add in a slew of disgruntled actors, their reticent stage manager, a frantic sound effects technician, a wacky female musical trio, a delinquent (and inebriated) Shakespearean prima donna, a jealous Italian femme fatale and a host of other broadcasting eccentrics, and this classic tale of holiday love and generosity becomes a series of comic twists and turns.
Fridays, Saturdays, & Sundays, Dec 1st - 23rd at The Phoenix Theatre
