Come see me perform!

I'll be doing a live old-time radio performance once again with Those Thrilling Days of Yesteryear this coming Sunday, in Oak Park.

We've got two scripts, the main event of which is the adaptation of A Christmas Carol which ran for many years with Orson Welles as the lugubrious and overblown narrator, sponsored by Campbell Soups. I'm playing Mrs. Cratchit in that one. In the other play, I am a squeaky mother mouse telling her mouse children all about Santa.

It should be a silly good time. We read the plays right in front of our audience, at microphone stands, scripts in hand. Ben'll be at the table to the side of us, doing all of the sound effects right there.

They should have cookies and punch and things, I think, and it's free admission, so um, yeah!

punch and pie?

How old is this group? How is it that I've never heard them when A Prairie Home Companion visits Chicago?

Heh! It's been around about 4 years, I suppose. It's just a little fun thing that is fun to do, for various actors in the area.

Dunno why Garrison would have any idea who we are, though! There's a lot of stuff like this all over Chicagolandia!

Thanks, lady! These things are lots of fun. I like when I get to do sfx, too, like slamming doors and footsteps.

someone needs to package modern microphones in functional shells that look like that.

Hell I'd buy one, and I don't even have a use for a mic.
