After her show in March was cancelled, director Morgan McCall lamented the difficulty of creating an in-person second series show this semester. Daniella Brown, an actor in this cancelled show, shared with McCall her experience working as an assistant sound designer in the GCU recording studio for a production of Wings, suggesting she look at radio scripts as a second series. Hannah Hensley was brought on as stage manager once again, the team from last semester's cancelled production together once more. The trio worked on pitches, acquiring rights, and holding auditions for a student-run radio show, something that had never been done before at GCU.

Meetings in a campus apartment turned into recording sessions in a state-of-the-art studio with the help of worship arts student workers and GCU faculty member, Eric Johnson. The cast and creative team is made up entirely of students, learning to adapt and create art in these times that live theatre is restricted. We hope audiences are inspired, moved, and filled with joy by this timeless, Christmas story reimagined.
