Description

Welcome to another edition of Maplewood Barn Radio Theatre. In this edition, we bring you a little Christmas treat from Stephen Leacock. It is our way of putting an extra peppermint stick in your stocking or hanging another ornament on your tree. Mr. Leacock was one of the most famous comic writers of the early 1900s throughout the English-speaking world, and his humor heavily influenced vaudeville comedians, including Jack Benny, who was introduced to Leacock's work by Groucho Markx. The writers of Maplewood Barn Radio Theatre have shamelessly reused Leacock's work in several radio shows, and we will do so again in this episode. We merrily present a couple of his Christmas stories. The players Leacock: Jeff Martin John: Brad Buchanan Anna: Maggie Hanson William: Matt Davis Henry, Lawyer: Byron Scott Caroline: Joy Jackson Hoodoo McFiggins: Matt Davis Hoodoo's mother: Joy Jackson Narrator: Darren Hellwege Production Script Adaptation: Brad Buchanan Engineer: Darren Hellwege Post
