Pink, Penance and Parlor Games – An Original Vintage Radio Show

ACT Players is proud to bring you our second vintage radio broadcast completely written, voiced, and recorded by our very own ACTors. When better to air a deeply creepy and deliciously disturbing show than on Halloween Eve? You won’t want to miss this eerie tale of the worst kind of birthday party imaginable in a neighborhood where everything is not “quite” as perfect as it seems.

Watch it on our YouTube channel.

A Garden without a Tulip

An Original Vintage Radio Show

COVID-19 threw a curve ball at ACT Players in 2020, but we were not to be undone. Someone once said that when life hands you lemons, make lemonade. That’s precisely what we did, although some could say we were handed cantaloupes. It only took two writers to join forces, four actors to lend their voice talents, and one maestro of sound and effects to create our first radio show. We hope you enjoy your brief visit to Merriwyck, Ohio, and if you find yourself not wanting to leave, please consider donating to our non-profit theater company so that we are able to map out another audio adventure for you in the near future.

Thank you so much and happy listening!

 

 

As community theaters across the globe have been halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are working hard to keep the performing arts alive. Some of our organizations best have come together to bring “live” performances straight to your homes! Sit back and enjoy a taste of theater until we are able to open our doors again!
