SAY IT! on Stage - Seniors and Youth Intergenerational Theatre On Stage |
SAY IT! On Stage - Proceeding Virtually due to COVID-19 Seniors and Youth Intergenerational Theatre To join in on future SAY IT! On Stage projects please fill out this form and we will be in contact:
The second season of SAY IT! On Stage had us exploring new ways to be creative and stay connected. No longer able to meet in person, we have congregated in Zoom rooms, experimenting with a hybrid theatre art: old-time radio plays performed on a videoconferencing app of our own technological age. The project is as intergenerational as the participants!
After months of meeting weekly to read through vintage scripts, we set to work creating a radio play of our own. Rehearsing from a living document in a virtual venue had its challenges, but neither unstable internet connections nor endless electronic versions of a monster draft document could deter us.
With all the safety precautions, and when restrictions allowed, the group was able to record all of the performers' voices. When all the scenes had been read through and each sound effect included, the editing began! The final result is the radio play..."Unearthed"

With the sound of sirens, the sleepy little town is awakened. Nothing ever happens there. Until it does...
Come along and help our armchair detectives unravel a delicious tangle of suspects and clues.
Listen to the original Radio Play Here.
