Our Gender-Swapped Star Trek series at the Arisia science-fiction convention continued in January 2024 with “The Doomsday Machine” in which Captain Jane T. Kirk, investigating a distress signal from another starship, discovers a planet-killing machine — and the sole survivor of its attack bent on vengeance!
In April, we presented an original Cold-War spy thriller by Michael Lin, “Women Behind the Curtain”, along with a recreation of a 1940 episode of Lest We Forget: Stories to Remember, “The Outcasts”.
In July, our summer mystery series returned with The Thirteenth Mystery, with three radio plays:
We recreated a classic episode of Lux Radio Theater, The Thin Man, written by George Wells and Sanford Barnett, adapted by Jeremy Holstein!
The gentleman thief Arsène Lupin returned in the new adaptation by Michael Lin, The Black Pearl!
And we presented Trifles, by Susan Glaspell, adapted for audio drama by Phoebe Roberts!
In October and November, we presented our Halloween show, The Unseen Worlds of H. G. Wells, featuring original adaptations of four of Wells’ stories:
In Robert Brophy’s adaptation of “The Cone”, a betrayed husband seeks a horrifying revenge upon his rival.
In Denise Baugh’s adaptation of “The Stolen Body”, a dabbler in the supernatural discovers some of the inconveniences that can arise when one foolishly leaves one’s body unattended.
In Michael McAfee’s adaptation of “The Inexperienced Ghost”, a group of friends at a club have a run-in with an unfortunate and somewhat ineffectual ghost.
And in Derek Webb’s adaptation of “The Invisible Man”, a disagreeable scientist discovers how to render himself invisible.
