RAAC readings

Enjoy listening to The Big Broadcast, the public radio show featuring old radio shows from the 1940s and 50s like Dragnet, Gunsmoke, Our Miss Brooks, Johnny Dollar?

Well, RAAC Community Theatre and Rapp at Home have a treat for you: not one, but two summer community readings of popular old time radio scripts, plus maybe an Agatha Christie radio play or a Golden Girls script, just for fun.

“This is our third year of holding these community readings,” says Patty Hardee, RAAC Theatre Artistic Director. “They’re a lot of fun. We call this low-impact theatre. No experience is necessary. We’ll provide scripts at the reading and there are no rehearsals.”

The dates are Sunday, July 14 and Sunday, August 18, at 3:00 pm. The Theatre is located at 310 Gay St. in Little Washington. Both readings will be of different scripts, so come on one or both Sundays.

Tables and chairs will be set up if you want to bring something to eat—for yourself or to share—and a refreshment of your choice. “There will be no admission charge,” said Patty. “This is our way of saying thanks for the support the Theatre and Rapp at Home have received from the community.”

If you know in advance that you would like to read, contact Patty Hardee at pahardee@gmail.com. Or you can sign up at the door. You are also welcome to enjoy the reading as an audience member… or help supply sound effects. Just like old time radio.
