Carlene Philips from this Harvard Press article is feeling more than a little nostalgic for a time not experienced, and a medium Philips thought was dead:
I was filled with admiration—and a bit of envy—at the camaraderie, passion, spirit of collaboration, and mutual support among the cast members, to say nothing of their incredible talents. During the deliberately over-the-top production, I laughed with abandon and felt the sting of sarcasm, the pain of rejection, and the bliss of, ah, true love.
Philips is speaking of the classic audio drama The Philadelphia Story which is being performed live on stage for the upcoming Old Time Radio Theatre presentation Saturday, March 19, at 7:30 p.m. in Volunteers Hall, sponsored by the Harvard Friends of the Arts. This has become a bit of a tradition now, for eight years at Harvard. About time the old ivy leagues were lining ’em up again!
