About this Event

A Classic Live Staged Radio Drama

Christmas may be over, but the Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society is still feeling festive! Join us for a double-feature of yuletide M**der, performed in the style of an old-time radio broadcast, complete with vintage commercials and live sound effects. It’s an “entertaining and creepy homage to an era gone by” (Cherry and Spoon), brought to life by veteran Twin Cities performers Shanan Custer, Joshua English Scrimshaw, Tim Uren, and Eric Webster, who “use their voices to paint a picture so vivid that if you close your eyes, you can see the action in your mind's eye.” (Stages of Minnesota) “Back for Christmas” from Suspense (1943): Peter Lorre stars as a weak-willed botany professor with grave reservations about spending another Christmas with his overbearing wife. This darkly comic tale, based on a story by John Collier, is one of Suspense's earliest holiday-themed plays. “Jack Frost” from Candy Matson, Yukon 28209 (1949): Wise-cracking private eye Candy Matson is hired by a department store to investigate the disappearance of Santa's elf-like assistant, Jack Frost. An obscure regional radio program from San Francisco, Candy Matson, Yukon 28209 blends mystery, romance, and zingy, self-aware dialogue to create a one-of-a-kind listening experience.

“An artisanal, old-school way of making entertainment... The fun is in watching these fine actors work almost exclusively with their voices … and to see them create a sepia-toned world with handmade sound effects.” - Pioneer Press
