Members of the Voice of the Shuswap will present a short but entertaining re-enactment of a traditional radio production at 7 p.m. Friday, June 21 at Shuswap Theatre.
A Play On Words will be performed as a live-to-tape vintage radio drama.
This production was originally performed in 1944 for CBC Radio. It was written by well-known writer and broadcaster Lister Sinclair.
His longtime partner and well-known concert pianist, Gloria Saarinen, will attend the performance.
Directed by Julia Body, the performance will feature live music by Ian Wickett (on keyboard), with actors Patrick Allwood, Lois Archer-Duell, Aileen Brand, Randy Brogden, Evelyn Birch, Rebecca Marchand and George Rithaler.
This production is part of the Voice of the Shuswap’s efforts to bring unique local programming to Shuswap listeners, as well as new opportunities to learn skills and explore the possibilities with community radio station, CKVS 93.7.
Everyone is welcome to this free event, but be warned, the play uses the “language of the day,” which some audience members may find offensive.
