New Years Show
Well old radio shows (two years and counting), just like old dogs, CAN learn new tricks! For our New Years show we tried a new venue and added two new works to the nights line-up. The Work of Heart Art Gallery was our locale for the weekends offering and it was very intimate and cozy. Artwork gracing the walls and a fire burning in the center fireplace made the chilly night feel downright toasty. The sound was so good in the small space that we really didn't need microphones, especially Bill and Bob in their struggle scene, but they look so good that we kept them! We filled the small house (only 35 seats) with some new faces, had a last minute addition of Cameron at the keyboards (thanks!!), and were blessed with a generous amount of donations.
We opened with the Magnificent Montague, Boo Boo Foo Foo. A great script that was well written, the jokes just rolled out with the lively pacing that the group maintained. Then we heard Janine's new script, yes our Janine, of the Olympic Eye rolling event. She and Bill really played up the necessary hammy delivery. It gushed, and it was funny. Then Lee, our and PMC's Lee, brought out her Cloud 9 script that showed a little devilment could be the highlight of hanging around in heaven. Who knew that kind of fun could be had up above? The crowd enjoyed the night, and we got to rub elbows with friends including some old friends- we miss you Geri!
A fun night indeed. Oh and thanks Don Eubank for the new door buzzer/ phone ring rig. What a clever man to construct that thingamajig in one afternoon. The Old Time Radio Theater Foley Department sends it's deepest regards.
Valentines might be our next show date and maybe even St. Paddy's. We'll see you then.
