Our long-promised new
broadcast studio should be completed by
March 30th. It is state-of-the-art ! We have room to perform
live Audio Theatre
productions as well as a place to record at the studio!
Have
patience... we are
almost there!
Our next planned
production is
"The Coffin in Studio B"
There are six male parts in the cast.
I will be sending out invitations after the new studio is ready.
PLEASE... if you have signed up as an Audio
Theatre member, but have not provided
a voice recording sample, and wish
to participate
as a vocal actor, please leave a two to four
minute recording of a
favorite reading, script, etc. that demonstrates your vocal
characteristics...
and if you do any dialects, please include in your sample.
Audio Theatre requires different voices for each character
to help the
audience keep the characters straight in their minds.
Recordings on CD can be left in the Audio Theatre mailbox
at the station
at 909 Islington St. in Portsmouth or emailed to me as an mp3 file.
Thanks!

tugboat on her way out to the WSCA-LP Audio Theatre Buoy to retrieve a
Classic Radio Program... |

WSCA-LP Buoy where
a special hidden compartment
stores our Classic Radio
Programs...the location of
this buoy is not to be
disclosed.
The seal is our WSCA-LP Watchseal,
there to protect the contents
within the buoy. |

BEWARE of the WSCA-LP Official Watchdog
He has one
heck of an "under bite"
or is that an "over bite" ?
Oh well, he bites! |
Some of my famous. albeit
slippery, friends...

Here is an old photo of
me with my good friend Frank Sinatra.
He was asking me for a few pointers on how to use the microphone!* |

Here is an old photo of me with
my good friend Ella Fitzgerald.
She was asking me for a few pointers on how
she might improve on her singing style.* |

Yet another old photo,
but with my good friend Louis Armstrong*
who is responding to
a really good joke...the fact that I showed up to a black-tie affair in
a blue nylon rain coat! |

Last, but not least...here is my oldest "friend photo"
with Glenn Miller. I had just told him that I thought
"In The Mood" was a catchy name for a song.* |
|
* Just in case you
could not tell, which I doubt, the above "friend photos" were taken in
New York City at
the Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum.... the celebrities are wax, I was
real... I think. |
