Our Spring- in- Bloom Broadcast features Baseball and Taxes

Hello America,

We are less than one week away from the Hear Again Radio Project's final performances of the 2011-12 season. The team has been hard at work creating radio magic for you and your whole family. This time, we're featuring two annual rites of Spring that each April brings: The return of Baseball and the revenge of the Tax Man. To ease your burden, we have put together a really terrific program, under the sly direction of Mr. Frederick Andersen.

Performances are at our home for special events, Plays and Players for one weekend only. Please join us live in studio for some good old fashioned radio goodness on Saturday April 14 at 7pm and Sunday April 15 at 4pm & 7pm.

Event and ticket details can be found here: Hear Again Baseball and Taxes Event 

We hope to see you there!

 

Lights Out for Halloween Spooktacular

Hello America,

It...is...later...than...you...think.

For our Halloween Spooktacular Oct 22- 23 at 4 & 7pm this year, we here in the Hear Again Radio Project sound labs decided that we would use the Halloween show this year as a chance to explore one of the most influential and pioneering radio programs from the golden age of radio, Lights Out.

Lights Out was a series created by Wyllis Cooper in the fall of 1933, and later taken over by Arch Oboler in 1936. Full details on the history of the popular anthology series can be found here. In addition to the taut and engaging stories, one of the other things that drew audiences to this series was the interesting and creative sound effects that the show featured. In researching the effects we stumbled upon this image of an article highlighting the stars and the foley artists from the series.

For our Halloween Spooktacular, we will be featuring one script by each writer. First, Slurp! Goes the Amoeba by Wyllis Cooper which is a spooky tale about a lab experiment that goes horrifically wrong. It is tasty! We follow that with one of our favorite Arch Oboler scripts, last performed in the inaugural Hear Again performances for the 2009 Philadelphia Fringe Festival, entitled Special to Hollywood. As always, we have many treats for our audience, including Halloween candy and a special give away courtesy of our friends in Old Time Radio, the Old Time Radio Researchers group.
