Featuring

From the fantastic series produced by our friends at Decoder Ring Theatre!

When a mystery man pays private detectives Jack Justice and Trixie Dixon a hefty retainer to drop a client they never had, it looks like they finally caught that nice soft case every detective dreams of. But it couldn't really be that simple...could it? Directed by Mindy Klenoff.

Classic radio sci-fi!

An episode of the classic 1950's sci-fi series, based on a short story written by Clifford D. Simak, in which the crew of a rocketship land on an obscure planetoid whose salient features are a junkyard of scrap parts from another ship and a mysterious tower. Directed by Michael McAfee.

One of the most famous radio plays of all time!

One of the all-time classic stories of old-time radio, originally featuring Vincent Price. After a derelict ship runs aground on their reef, three lighthouse keepers must fight for their lives against thousands of starving rats! Directed by Heidi Clark.

I've been tagging all PMRP announcements as 'theatre@first' which is a long-existing tag, but maybe we should give PMRP its own separate tag by now? (Edit: assuming I can spell and type 'PMRP' properly by the third try. Sorry for all the notification spam, Neil.)

I hadn't realized they were being tagged 'theatre@first'. Yes, it should definitely have it's own tag. Though they are under the same non-profit umbrella organization, they are distinctly separate entities in terms of finances and operations.

[ron_newman]

OK, I think I now have pmrp and theatre@first posts properly separated -- let me know if you see any that are still mis-tagged.

[ron_newman]

Sounds like great fun as usual from PMRP. When and where do you expect to do these performances?

Whoops, forgot to define the locale (Urban Promise Church of Somerville). (The dates are under the logo: July 14-16th). Will fix that.

[ron_newman]

I totally missed seeing the dates because they were under that huge graphic. I see you've now bolded them -- thanks. It's ArtBeat weekend which I assume you chose deliberately.

Will sides be posted this evening?

I'm working on the last of the info sheets now. Everything probably won't be up until late tonight, but they should certainly be there first thing in the morning.

Thanks for checking in!
