Recorded the role of Ebenezer Scrooge for a radio play-adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol for the Standby for Places podcast. Take a listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!

Recorded December 14th, 2020, released December 20th, 2020

Standby for Places is the brainchild of Margie Zarcone, a classmate of Benjamin’s at the Actors Studio Drama School, and her collaborators Freda Mattea and Graydon Gund. The cast had a great time recording this production remotely, and were all so grateful to have an opportunity to create something together while in isolation.
