OdysseyStage's Radio Playhouse

A Child is Born

OdysseyStage's New Holiday Broadcast

A Child is Born is a Christmas play written by the poet Stephen Vincent Benet, produced by WCHL, and OdysseyStage Theatre, Christmas Day, on a new program, Radio Playhouse. The return to radio broadcasting, as it was, will restore the pleasure of listening to a story, enhanced by your imagination. A Child is Born was first presented in 1942, in troubled times, such as we too are experiencing. The story's exquisite poetry and appropriate message for this holiday season will elicit joy and tears and warm your heart.

OdysseyStage Radio Playhouse presents A Child is Born as a tribute to Stephen Vincent Benet, and as a gift to the community. The play is the premier of Radio Playhouse, which will continue in the coming year, only on the new WCHL 1360 AM. The staff of WCHL and Radio Playhouse wish you a Christmas of Peace and Goodwill.
