THE PETALUMA RADIO PLAYERS

NOT HERE YET by award-winning New York playwright, William Ivor Fowkes. If the trains run on-time, well most of the time, why would the world's busiest subway system need a stay-at-home spouse to reassure would-be passengers that one is coming along any minute now? Is there something in her own life that seems to be stuck in-transit? Is it perhaps too late for this empty housewife to get her relationship back on track?

One man's emotional junk is another man's personal fortune in this unsettling one-act drama by Ohio playwright, Trace Crawford.

CHEKHOV'S REVENGE by Roy Proctor. Though Anton Chekhov is widely revered as the father of modern drama here in the West, did you know that in his native Russia, he is better known for the hundreds of short stories, novellas and sketches he authored during his medical school days until he died of tuberculosis in the early 20th century at the age of 44? Well, the comic timing and irony in the next two scenes is likely to kill you, too… with laughter.  

The Petaluma Radio Players present a comedy by Peter Marino and Tom Ecobelli that puts the dead pan in bed pans. Can laughter raise your blood pressure?  Perhaps. But if nothing else, the Grandmother in this story will likely cure your funny bone from the aches and pains induced by perpetually clicking your TV remote.

Long time building resident, Gillie (SHIRLEY BENNETT) shares support and gossip with new-in-town tenant, Mara (DORI O'DEA) in 'The Sentinel,' a half-hour drama by New Jersey playwright Hal Corley which asks audiences to consider the uncomfortable superimposition of old time neighborhood values onto de rigeur measures to ensure self-preservation in a world of suicide and stalkers. Troupe member Emily Lord makes her directorial debut in this Petaluma Radio Players production.

Our drama during this week's presentation will make you long for the days of your youth when you couldn't wait for the bell to ring and detention to be over. When your favorite subject was lunch, not math or biology, gym or poli-sci. After all, who needs gym and poli-sci when there were politics and summersaults aplenty in the Teachers Lounge? At least at this high school. The Petaluma Radio Players present our first installment from the 1950s classic 'Our Miss Brooks' radio series. This episode: 'A Plaque for Mr. Conklin.'

CONTAINS NUDITY, by Auckland, New Zealand playwright Rex McGregor. Set in a nursing home where spending one's twilight years is taken to an entirely new dimension. Who knew rest homes could be so...animated?

'THE GREYSON VARIATIONS,' by Nelson Clark. This P.R.P. radio drama is a study in what is real…and what you perceive is real. The play exposes the depths one researcher will go to embrace the human soul even if we're compelled to ask if the soul is real...or created. And what does 'created' mean, after all? And what, exactly, defines humanity? Is the answer black and white. Or perhaps a shade of grey somewhere in between, somewhere within ….The Greyson Variations.
