Just looking around trying to find different radio plays ... anywhere from 75 minutes to 90 minutes is something to shoot for.
Right now I'm looking at a December time period and It's a Wonderful Life adapted by Joe Landry seems to be very popular. If we do indeed perform the show and it goes over well, we could possibly do more in the future. Comedy always does well for us. Anyone have experience in this area that could offer some title suggestions ... something that has worked for their own company? |

Joe Landry has a few others, I think he has one called Vintage Hitchcock.
And his A Wonderful Life is done like a million times a year, and usually once people start doing it, they keep doing it, so it must be good.

Any of the Lux Radio Hour scripts should work. I am planning an evening of Old Time Radio for our theatre and plan to use a Lux script. Many of these sripts are available online and are in the public domain.LUx would take big screen movies of the day and condense them into 60 minute radio performances.

I noticed that too. It seems like it almost becomes a tradition. Nothing wrong with that as long as the actors and audience continue to enjoy it. |

Thanks for getting back so quickly. Lux sounds good. And who doesn't like a good melodrama with audience participation!
I'll check them all out. |

We are on our fifth Old-time radio production. This is something we started for our busier members who don't have time to commit to a full rehearsal schedule. We do one show - a Sunday matinee, and it's free. Each show has become more popular than the last. For our last show (Fibber McGee & Molly (and Dragnet)) we had to turn people away. Check out genericradio.com. They have a lot of scripts to choose from! Of course, we go whole hog, costumes, period music, foley table on the stage. It's a riot!

I like the sounds of that, SamD! It sounds like a lot of fun.
