Audiences are invited to witness the performance of classic radio scripts by voice actors, sound effects artists and, often, live musicians. The AFTRA/SAG Senior Radio Players stay faithful to the original model by having to get it right the first time--no retakes permitted.

Fog
Originally broadcast September 20, 1942 on the CBS Radio Network as part of The Whistler
Spooky!  It’s a foggy night on the waterfront as a sea captain and Danny, one of his crew (who is armed), are out to collect a long overdue debt owed to the sailor by the dangerous Duke Moran.  En route, Danny falls, injures his head, and immediately loses his memory. In a panic, he runs from the captain.  An hour later the police find the dead body of Duke Moran.  Could it be that the amnesiac Danny pulled the trigger? Stay tuned.

Mr. Sycamore
Originally broadcast July 4, 1937 on CBS as part of The Columbia Workshop
In this lovely and highly imaginative tale, John Gwilt makes a decision.  After twenty years of tramping through the streets of his small town delivering mail in all kinds of weather, he’s going to quit his boring and fatiguing job and remain serene and stationary in his backyard for the rest of his life.  He tells his wife Jane that he intends to become a tree!  Go figure.
