"Lux Radio Theatre: Death of a Salesman" Recreation of 1956 classic audio drama
<p>"Death of a Salesman" is one of the classic America plays: the first to win both the Tony Award for Best Author, the New York Drama Circle Critics' Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Arthur Miller's intense family drama might have seemed promising material for a prestige radio adaptation, but perhaps it was too intense for American radio networks. </p> <p>However, Australia's radio stations had no such nervousness. The Australian edition of Lux Radio Theatre adapted "Death of A Salesman" on January 29, 1956, using two of the lead actors who originally premiered it in Australia. </p> <p>Now, even as a new production arrives on Broadway, Audion brings forth the Lux adaptation for Project Audion's virtual airwaves: a story of the American Dream gone wrong, and the devastating effects it has on Willy Loman and his family. Still vital, after all these decades. Our big, widespread cast:</p> <p>Les Marsden in California<br /> Laura Mirsky in New Jersey<br /> Pete Lutz in Texas<br /> Dana Gonsalves in Texas<br /> Paul Arbisi in Illinois<br /> Nick Wommack in Texas<br /> Rhiannon Mcafee in California<br /> Patte Rosebank in Toronto Canada<br /> David Ian in Oregon<br /> Tom Konkle in California</p> <p>Original music was by Ross Bernhardt<br /> Directed by Pete Lutz<br /> Production was supervised by Larry Groebe</p>

"Dragnet" recreation of the lost premiere episode of famous police procedural audio drama from June 3 1949 (plus bonus parody)
<p>Just the facts, ma'am: DRAGNET is one of the few programs from the classic age of audio drama which is still recognized by most people today - for the iconic four-note theme, at least. But even Dragnet didn't hit the airwaves at the start in its fully-realized familiar form. Episode number one, which aired on June 3, 1949, survives only via a script, not a recording. That script reveals a compelling cop show, but one which doesn't quite match our memories of Jack Webb's LAPD detective formed from years of radio, television, and movie versions. All of which makes Project Audion's new reconstruction of that very first episode such a fascinating show worth listening to. Even the Dragnet theme isn't yet there. But Joe Friday is, along with his partner Ben Alexander, and the true-life crime stories where "only the names have been changed - to protect the innocent."</p> <p>But wait -- there's more (as they used to say on the commercials accompanying Dragnet TV reruns). R. L. Mills, that senior scriptwriting script and storyteller from the days of Bob Hope, has penned a parody of Dragnet called "Hairnet" - and THAT plays back right AFTER our lost premiere. The same cast is heard (and seen) in both shows...only of the parts were changed, to protect the actors...</p> <p>Denise and Norman Cline, Kentucky<br /> Pete Fernbaugh, West Virginia<br /> Caleb Fisher, Virginia<br /> Chris Hart, Florida<br /> Ed Herman, New York<br /> Sean Massey, Texas<br /> Bob Mills, California<br /> Craig Whichman, New York<br /> ...with production, direction, sound & music by Larry Groebe in Texas</p>

"Dr Christian: To Live A Dream" recreation of Rod Serling's first script, a classic radio 1949 drama
<p>Even the greatest creative people had to start somewhere. For Rod Serling, whose "Twilight Zone" series is one of the landmarks of television, it was the radio series "Doctor Christian." Project Audion is proud to recreate his very first professionally-sold script for that show, which hasn't been heard since it originally aired back on November 9, 1949.</p> <p>Doctor Christian, which starred Jean Herscholt, was a popular and long-running light drama series about a small town doctor and the wide range of people he helped. While completing college, Rod Serling submitted a script about a boxer who was facing the fight of his life - titled "To Live a Dream." Entered into the annual Dr. Christian scriptwriting contest, it came in second place, and gave Serling his first income from writing, his first national broadcast...and the first step of Rod Serling's own dream. It's a surprisingly polished and intense first step, at that! Audion's far-flung voice actors included.</p> <p>Ken Raney in Texas<br /> Andy Hartson-Bowyer in Virginia<br /> Sheree Wichard in Pennsylvania<br /> Pete Lutz in Texas<br /> Hunter Adkins in Maryland<br /> Dana Gonsalves in Texas<br /> and Tim Burns in Kansas<br /> Music, Sound, production and direction from Larry Groebe in Texas.</p>
