Many of us missed the days before television when families gathered around the radio, listening to stories - soap operas, westerns, comedies and suspenseful dramas. Closing your eyes and drifting into a fantasy world, with the kids on the floor, dad in his favorite chair and mother on the sofa with her knitting, families listened to the sounds of doors opening and closing, wind blowing, stairs creaking and other sounds crafted from Foley equipment. In December and January at Beowulf Alley, our team of actors will present live presentations of some of the finest radio shows of the 30s, 40s and 50s.
