Twenty-first Century Radio Theatre is based on television and radio shows produced by Liars Holographic Radio Theatre" (www.liarstheatre.com). 21CRT is a form of performance that transcends the boundaries between genres. It is based more on the future of storytelling and less on the traditions of radio theatre established during the early 20th century. This is the first release in a series of episodes that will include comedy and satirical skits with spurious sponsors and occasional heart-tugging fictional stories and poems. Each episode stands on its own like a collection of short stories but almost always the episodes feature the same memorable characters. Some segments work best with script in hand, while other segments are best presented off book. You choose the tunes that you think best support the segments of the show: reggae, punk, big band, country, polka or create original music throughout. Flexible cast from 3 to 27, most of the roles could be played by two versatile actors. All of these pieces were first presented with the same two actors. No costuming, no technical lighting, no sets, and minimal rehearsal time in this live variety show of spectacular wonderment. Mature content may be edited as necessary.
