 ##PRODUCTION DEFERRED DUE TO COVOID19 ...Stay Tuned

Hear the fabulous music of the 50s and some of the great stories of the era.  This was a time when our home-grown inventions, initiatives, and talent were about to make their mark on the world stage. A time when the new craze from the States - rock and roll - found its mark here. 
    And of course, our Live Radio Play - The Devious Digit of Destiny - comes to its wacky end.  Some new characters appear [hint: cold war, spies, russia] and we farewell one of the originals;  some new schemes emerge; some unexpected surprises; and some eccentric revelations! 
    FEATURING a cast of 000's!  well, not quite....   Maureen O'Brien, Stevi Cannon, Grant Bailey, John Dickeson, Amanda Broberg, David Benge, and guitarist/sound effects wizard Peter Sesselmann
