An Elgin Old Tyme Holiday Radio Show 3

Elgin Art Showcase
164 Division Street Elgin

You can still have that excitement that you used to experience and you can take it even one step further. Elgin Theatre Company is allowing you to be an audience member in the actual studio audience of WECT, a radio station while they create a "live" presentation of three scripts that were taken from actual radio shows in the 50's. You will see the actors creating characters like Jack Benny, Fibber McGee, and Connie Brooks right before your very eyes. You will see the actual sound effects people performing their activities with various pieces of equipment that actually create the sounds that you would normally hear during a radio program. Some of the different sounds and the ways that they are created are almost laughable at times. Again, you can react as you normally would if you were at home listening to your radio.
