Take out your earbuds. Move over, Spotify. You’re so old school, iTunes.
Staples students are embracing a cutting-edge new technology: radio.
But not just any radio: a 1940s-style radio drama.
Tomorrow (Thursday, December 22, 1 p..m.), Geno Heiter’s Audio Production class and David Roth’s Theater 3 Acting class collaborate on a radio broadcast of “It’s a Wonderful Life.”
They’ll use the original 1946 script — including Lux toilet soap advertisements from that long-ago time.
Similar WWPT-FM productions have won top awards in the John Drury national high school radio competition. Check it out:
It’s a phenomenal event — and a great undertaking. High school students incorporate live drama skills, sound effects and radio production into an entertaining, uplifting performance.
You can hear it locally on 90.3 FM, or by clicking here for the livestream.
It is indeed a wonderful life!
PS: The 2016 Candlelight Concert is also available on WWPT-FM (and via livestream). It’s broadcast at random times — so keep listening!
Bravo!
Thanks, Dan. And a great shot of one of my favorite fishing spots ever.
It was a really well done broadcast, I loved it!
