Shadowland presents vintage radio thrillers

Posted

ELLENVILLE, NY — Continuing its annual Halloween series of on-stage classic radio drama recreations, Shadowland Stages will present its 2016 Terror at the Mike program, presented as a benefit performance for the non-profit theater, on Saturday, October 29 at 8 p.m. The theatre is at 157 Canal St.


The group will present on-stage recreations of two vintage radio thrillers: an episode of the classic series “Suspense,” “A Friend to Alexander,” a 1943 radio script which concerns a man obsessed by his dreams about Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton; and one of the earliest episodes of “Lights Out” by Arch Oboler, titled “The Dream.” The latter is about a man who has never dreamed; when he finally does it is a terrifying experience.


Each radio drama will be performed (by both professional performers and community personalities) in original fashion in front of microphones with both live music and sound effects. The evening of aural entertainment will include commercials for local Ellenville area sponsors and is produced and directed by Shadowland board member Ray Faiola.


Tickets for the October 29 benefit performance of “Terror on the Mike” cost $15 and are available at the door the day of the performance. For more information call 845/647-5511.
