December at the Holiday: Lights, Live Music & Last-Minute Magic
December in Sturgeon Bay has its own kind of soundtrack. Holiday lights glow a little brighter against the early sunsets, music spills out of lounges and waterfront venues, and small-town streets fill with shoppers, cocoa in hand, searching for just the right gifts. Here at the Holiday Music Motel, we’re closing out the year the way we love best, celebrating local creativity, supporting our neighbors, and pointing you toward the can’t-miss events that make Door County feel extra magical this time of year.
A Christmas Carol TAPs into radio play history
Beginning this week, you can experience a different kind of live theatre unfold before your eyes at Third Avenue PlayWorks while also celebrating the holidays. “A Christmas Carol: A Live Radio Play” opened on Wednesday at the Sturgeon Bay theater, retelling the familiar story of Ebenezer Scrooge and his emotional transformation following the visits of the Christmas Ghosts of Past, Present, and Future. While the WBFR Radio Players will still look and play the parts of Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, and others on stage, they will also double as the production’s sound effects department. It is a throwback to an art form that dates back to the 1880s in France and hit its peak popularity in the United States from the 1930s through the 1960s. TAP Artistic Director Jacob Janssen says watching the actors play all of the different parts—from characters to sound effects—is a special treat for audiences.

The scene you’ll see before you is a 1940’s sound stage complete with art deco styling, microphones, and tables full of items to create live sound effects.
