THE GOLDEN AGE OF RADIO THEATER: Theater of the Imagination

Relive those Thrilling Days of Yesteryear! 

Stretch your imagination infinitely beyond the 24” silver screen.  Create and re-create those great old comedies and dramas.  Everybody who wants one is guaranteed a part! Or do live Sound Effects, Music, Narration, Announcing, Floor Management, etc.... Everybody has a good time!  No memorizing lines!

 From out of the past comes the fiery hoof beats…

And those hoof beats of sound and the imagination (remember when our minds actually had to do some work while we were being entertained?!) are the precursors of virtually every current TV show.

We’ll cover:

 The History of Radio Theater…  with example recordings and scripts of ‘sound-stories’

Current Productions… with scripts and a live performance in the class by professional actors, sound effects and recording artists.

Practice…  Learn and use simple, basic acting and reading skills with the instructor choosing and directing scripts appropriate to the class members.  Remember, you can take roles, or do narration, sound effects, music, recording, etc., as needed and desired.  You may remember Abbott and Costello, The Bickersons, The Shadow, George Burns and Gracie Allen, Casablanca, The Tell-Tale Heart, Fibber McGee and Molly, etc., etc.  Now, recreate them!

Most of all...Performance… of the resultant Old Time Radio Theater scripts for the public.

Learn to communicate powerfully, develop the skills needed to go on the stardom on radio or TV, or just have fun improving your speaking, reading and public appearance skills.

Remember, no memorizing lines!
