Have you ever wanted to create the sounds in a play? Perhaps you want to create the gunshots, horse hooves and window shatterings that abound in theater?
Well The Post-Meridian Radio Players are presenting a class on just that. Come by Responsible Grace Church on Saturday July 29th to find out if being a Sound Designer or a Foley artist is for you!

The Post-Meridian Radio Players are proud to announce the stories for Tomes of Terror: Lenore!

The show will feature:

- Edith Nesbit’s “Hurst of Hurstcove”, adapted by Liz Salazar
- Poe’s “The Premature Burial” adapted by Tegan Kehoe
- Poe’s “Hop Frog” adapted by Christian Krenek

The show will also feature a reading of the poem “Lenore”.

Thanks to everyone who submitted a script for consideration!

And next month between the 14th and 22d (at Responsible Grace Church) we’ll be presenting our summer mysteries for 2017, featuring original adaptations for radio-drama of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes tale “A Scandal in Bohemia” and a gender-swapped version of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”, considered by some the first modern detective story. You can buy tickets in advance or make a reservation on our tickets page. (The performance on Thursday, June 20th, is a pay-what-you-can performance.)

We are delighted to announce that we are looking for voice actors, Foley artists, and crew for our upcoming summer mystery show, Murders and Scandals: Poe and Doyle, featuring original adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle’s “A Scandal in Bohemia” featuring Sherlock Holmes and Edgar Allan Poe’s “the Murders in the Rue Morgue” — the latter gender-swapped and featuring Charolotte Dupin.
