On Stage announces auditions for:
WXMAS MONROE CLASSIC HOLIDAY RADIO SHOW -Directed by Marc Hammes Before the internet, there was television. Before television, there was radio. And before that, there was Christmas! Join us, as our recreation of the Golden Age of radio drama comes to life during this Holiday Season. On Stage’s first live Christmas radio show captures the feel and the sounds of old-time radio theater. Actors will be playing multiple characters with ingenious and dramatic sound effects. Experience the magic and nostalgia of radio, and create a new holiday memory. This delightful take on your favorite holiday stories and songs will leave no one saying, “Bah, Humbug!” *Actors will be performing in a live studio audience radio style. No memorization necessary. We will be creating our own sound effects and scripts will be used like a readers theater production. Actor’s voices and sound are key, but the audience will be able to see the magic “behind” the production too. This will create a lot of fun and flexibility in casting! It is ALL in your voice! |
