In a similar vein to “Sorry Wrong Number,” Laura Mirsky plays the role of Mary, an aging blind woman who must rely on her senses to deal with…”The Unexpected!”
In the long lineup of fictional hard-boiled detectives, Philip Marlowe stands out as one of the earliest and best. Raymond Chandler’s creation first reached print in the early 1930s, then went on to memorable adaptations in film, television, and of course radio. “The Adventures of Philip Marlowe” had a solid four-year run of well over 100 episodes on CBS. Still, a handful of recordings are lost today.
Now Project Audion recreates one of these missing episodes – “The Quiet Number” – directly from the original script, exactly seventy-five years after it was broadcast. “The Quiet Number” wasn’t penned by Chandler, but we meet the son of the man who wrote this and most of Marlowe’s other radio adventures. Then our transcontinental voice cast performs this gritty story of lost love in a hot Los Angeles summer via a live transcription that sounds just like 1949. Our versatile voice actors were:
Andy Hartson-bowyer in Virginia
Richard Durrington in Idaho
Gary Layton in Texas
Lothar Tuppan in California
Kristen James in Nevada
Holly Adams in New York
Kyle Bonn in Oregon
Larry Groebe produced and directed from Texas
Lorna Rogers wants a Mink Coat and will do whatever it takes to get what she wants in this somewhat comedic episode of “The Unexpected.” Rachel Pulliam brings this feature to the Sonic Summerstock Playhouse and starring Nicee Wagner, Frank Guglielmelli, Paul Arbisi, and John Bell.
This week we’re thrilled to welcome back The Narada Radio Company as they return for their ninth year of Sonic Summerstock Old-Time Radio re-creations! This time, it’s remake of another “Quiet Please” episode, entitled “How Are You, Pal?” It’s not a lost episode, but the only existing copy of the original is so badly damaged that it is barely audible. Director Pete Lutz hopes this remake comes close to creator Wyllis Cooper’s original vision – the story of a man who reaches out to an old friend to get the answers to some pretty pertinent questions.
For our second performance, John Bell from Bell’s in the Batfry brings an original OTR science fiction sure to become a classic in the manner of X-Minus One. Blast off for “Seeker”!
David Ault opens the Sonic Summerstock Playhouse for its 15th season with the incredible production of The Amigos and Audio Groove Cats starring Lothar Tuppan, Jack Ward, David Ault, Pete Lutz, Larry Groebe, Jeff Billard and John Bell in X-Minus One’s classic “The C-Chute” by Isaac Asimov!
David Ault sweeps away the spotlights from the Summerstock Playhouse with our final act and feature season finale from Sonic Cinema Productions and the incredible screwball comedy from FIRST NIGHTER- “Love is Stranger Than Fiction” starring John Bell, Patte Rosebank, Angela Young, Larry Groebe, Joe Stofko, and introducing Paul Arbisi and Trevor Rines! Thanks for another incredible season!
David Ault closes the Summerstock Playhouse with the first act of our two feature finale from Sonic Cinema Productions and the Amigos Collective beginning with the taut thriller from SUSPENSE- “The Long Night” starring Lothar Tuppan, Jeffrey Billard, Pete Lutz, Rachel Pulliam, Richard Summers, Austin Beach, introducing Jason Fella and produced by John Bell of Bell’s in the Batfry!
