NEW YORK, Nov. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- A new audio theater version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is the featured launch product for WYD Media Management's new online consumer entertainment digital destination, Spoken Word America. The new production, written and directed by Night Kitchen Radio Theater founder Arthur Yorinks debuts today as a SpokenWordAmerica.com download before becoming widely available on iTunes and Amazon.com. (http://www.spokenwordamerica.com/).

The cast for Night Kitchen Radio Theater's A Christmas Carol features Broadway's: Peter Gerety ("Conversations With My Father," "The Hothouse"), Richard Muenz ("Chess," "Most Happy Fella," "Camelot"), Alice Playten ("Caroline or Change," "Seussical"), and the performers Ivy Austin ("Raggedy Ann" and "Naughty Marietta" at City Opera), Steven Rattazzi ("Jimmy Carter was a Democrat,") Greg Hildreth ("As You Like It") and introducing Nikki Hislop. Nine performers from the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts Concert Choir join the cast and also sing an original song: Christmas Time, written for the production by Edward Barnes and Arthur Yorinks.

This original A Christmas Carol production is the first in a series of works developed in partnership between Night Kitchen Radio Theater and WYD Media Management aimed specifically at "new media" listening audiences. Spoken Word America downloads can be played on iPods, computers, and any device playing mp3 audio.

In the spirit of the season, a donation to the T. J. Martell Foundation for Cancer Research will be made for every consumer purchase of A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

"Consumers are gravitating to on-demand delivery options like iTunes, e-Books, Amazon.com's new "Kindle" book delivery system and the services being talked about by Google and Yahoo. The SPOKENWORDMERICA.com digital platform is a consumer-friendly web store for a universe of audio content," Mr. Hartenbaum said.
