If you are a Pittsburgh theater fan, chances are you’d jump at the chance to see Martin Giles play Ebenezer Scrooge. It can’t happen yet, but he’s getting close. You can hear Giles as Scrooge in PICT Classic Theatre’s online radio version of A Christmas Carol. The rest of the cast is about as star-studded as they come. James FitzGerald plays Bob Cratchit and Jacob Marley. Karen Baum is Mrs. Cratchit and Mrs. Fezziwig. Ken Bolden is Mr. Fezziwig, while Shammen McCune voices all three Spirits of Christmas. Lisa Ann Goldsmith, Jonathan Visser, and others chime in as various persons, and the adaptation is by Alan Stanford, artistic and executive director of PICT.  The company’s auditory A Christmas Carol can be heard on-demand, online through January 3. (M.V.)
