THE PETALUMA RADIO PLAYERS
In less than four years on the San Francisco Bay Area theatre circuit, after breathing new life into radio classics like 'The Shadow' in 2015, followed by the staging of 'Slay Bells Ring (Are you listening?),' four comedic original one-acts which played to sold out houses at the Hotel Petaluma in 2016, the Petaluma Radio Players, the North Bay's most eclectic and energized radio theatre company, are continuing to churn out a cornucopia of radio plays including vintage dramas like 'One Way Passage' (1932) and 'Trifles' (1916), and modern fare like the tear-jerking 'The Next Move' and in-stitches comedic noir parody, 'Story: A Detective Story.' We produce two radio plays per month. Join our podcast. Join our mailing list: info@petalumaradioplayers.com. Prepare to giggle and cry.
THE PETALUMA RADIO PLAYERS
A MURDERED MYSTERY
•
Petaluma Radio Players
This play-within-a-play opens with the butler, holding a gun, standing over a body. The butler assures us that things are not what they seem and that this is not a simple case of the butler did it. Instead, he introduces us to the other suspects: the body's former business partner, his ex-fiancée, his current fiancée, and her friend. But that's when the play begins...or falls apart, for the actors are as jealous, petty, and conceited as the characters they play. A troupe of egotistical actors who can't even stage a mystery without murdering it! Written by Karl Garner.
