As I mentioned on Ctown's last radio broadcast, I thought it might be fun to put together an authentic 'radio play' like they used to do on the radio back in the 20's and 30's. We'd like to do this probably sometime in December, around Christmastime, if we can get it done in time. We're looking for ideas for a script, volunteers for acting (voice only), and help with sound effects and audio descriptions.

We're hoping to have a fun time with this, so good luck, and thank you!! Let's see what y'all can come up with!! ;-D

(For those who have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, here's a couple of pages that provide some info and names of famous radioplays from days gone by. ;-)

Might I suggest for a script, "The Dying Detective" a Sherlock Holmes play.

There aren't too many parts, and the play itself takes place in one room, so it shouldn't be too hard to adapt to radio.
