The Post-Meridian Radio Players

This Halloween the Post-Meridian Radio Players return to the stage to present two tales of horror, murder, and the unnatural!  Join us as the skies grow dark and the wind turns chilly with The Van Helsing Chronicles! Famed monster hunter Professor A. van Helsing hosts and appears in two original adaptations of classic Gothic horror: Richard Marsh's The Beetle and Bram Stoker's Dracula.

We perform in the style of the Golden Age of Radio with actors on-book in front of microphones and sound effects produced onstage in front of a live audience.

Auditions will be on Monday, August 13, and Tuesday, August 14, with callbacks (if needed) on Thursday, August 16.  Performances will be from Oct. 19 through Oct. 27th in Somerville, MA.

There will be positions for both voice and foley artists!  PMRP encourages performers of all ethnic and racial backgrounds to audition.  Those with disabilities are welcome to audition, although please note our rehearsal/performance space is not wheelchair accessible.

So if you want to try out for The Van Helsing Chronicles, sign up for an audition slot at: http://auditions.pmrp.org .

Please note that we cannot accept Equity members at this time.

Also, our newly released studio performance, The Arrest of Arsène Lupin, is now available to listen to for free! (We’ve also got more Lupin available for purchase on CD or as a digital download.)

PMRP’s annual Summer Mysteries is here with Moriarty’s Mysteries!

Thursday July 26 is Pay-What-You-Can Night!

The Post-Meridian Radio Players invite you to catch up with our resident French gentleman-burglar Arsène Lupin in our newest studio project, PMRP Presents: The Arrest of Arsène Lupin! Ever since the events of The Mysterious Traveler (which you can listen to here), Lupin is on the run and hides himself away among those aboard La Provence, a trans-Atlantic ocean liner. But can he resist a few more acts of thievery and risk exposure? Can he stay hidden for the duration or the six-day voyage? Or will he meet his match among the passengers? Listen here, and find out!

And once you've finished that, make your reservation for Moriarty's Mysteries, opening this weekend, where we'll present the third installment of the PMRP's Arsène Lupin series, "Sherlock Holmes Arrives Too Late," along with two other tales of mystery and intrigue starring Vera Wolfe and Sherlock Holmes!
