Yes, Spokane, there is still a Christmas: Dozens of socially distanced events this season

While the COVID-19 pandemic has canceled countless events this year, event organizers have made their creativity clear, either figuring out how to present events virtually or rework them so they can continue safely in person. And the holiday season is no different.

This month, dozens of holiday traditions have been reinvented so they can be enjoyed online or in person with social-distancing measures in place. Get cozy at home, or grab your hat, gloves and mask to enjoy these holiday events.

Radio Play: “A Christmas Carol”

Spokane Civic Theatre and Minneapolis playwright Barbara Field’s adaptations of “A Christmas Carol” go together like milk and cookies. Civic first produced four adaptation in the late 1970s. Since then, Civic has included Field’s work in many a holiday season. This year, at Civic’s request, Fields has once again reworked her script of the Dickens classic, which the theater will share as a radio play. The play premieres on KPBX 91.1 at 7 p.m. Dec. 11. The play also will air at 7 p.m. Dec. 16, 4 p.m. Dec. 20 and 2 p.m. Dec. 24.
