Northside/Southside Radio Players: "The Man From Lot Two"
The latest performance by Chicago's Northside/Southside Radio Players is "The Man From Lot Two": a zany musical comedy adapted for audio theater from a 1966 script originally penned by authors Bob Connelly and Raymon Bruce, who worked in Hollywood on the crews of hit TV shows. Our story features Douglas Bryan Bean as a "movie nut" with a chameleon like ability to change his appearance at will and add to his "secret filmography" by blending in with the cast of a network TV pilot episode. Additional cast members are Nick Palumbo, Tom Gollagly, David Drazin (also composer/musician), Joe Urbancik, and Carol Seymour (also director/script adapter). Lyricist: Mark Wood. Sound engineering by Mickey Cushing of Chicago's Mystery Street Recording Studio.

Project Audion Episode 8: "The Lineup"
Project Audion’s newest cross-country OTR recreation is an episode of the police drama "The Lineup" which hasn't been heard since it was originally broadcast in January 1952. The Lineup was added to the CBS radio schedule after Dragnet became a massive hit, and ran for four years on radio, plus six years on television and a 1958 movie. The lead cop role (which was portrayed in 1952 by Bill Johnstone, who was a former "Shadow" and “Whistler”) is here played by Ed Dennis, an actual law enforcement officer for four decades. He even used his own handcuffs in the show's final scene. Our full cast: Ed Dennis / Illinois Dan Keenan / Colorado Chris Marcellus / Utah Angela Young / Florida John Bell / Alabama Barry Katz / Florida Kim Titus / Texas Denny Thompson / Colorado Tom Wilkins / Illinois Ken Raney did SFX from Texas, Denny Thompson directed, and Larry Groebe produced the show.

It may not be familiar to many people, but "On Stage" is well worth listening to. This episode, "A Month of Sundays," originally aired in August 1953 but no recording survives. Patte Rosebank plays the Cathy Lewis role from in Toronto Canada. She also directed. Tim Burns plays Elliott Lewis' part from Salina Kansas. Denise Cline, in Kentucky, is heard as Mrs. Marlin.

She’s eager to renew an alliance with Rome by any means necessary – including marriage and/or murder. A dramatic comedy of power politics, whirlwind romances, and running fast to get nowhere!
