Not That Far From Art
- Upcoming Show Announcement:
Live from the Avalon Theatre: It's "Radio From Downtown"
On
Halloween night 2009, the long-running music/variety production Radio from
Downtown will celebrate its 20th anniversary in show business with a
presentation of another famous radio program first broadcast 71 years ago
from the CBS radio studios in New York City: Orson Welles and the Mercury
Theatre on the Air�s adaptation of H. G. Wells� (no relation) �The
War of the Worlds.�
Through
its highly-paid mouthpiece, the legal department of RFD Productions admits
to �messing with the script a little bit� to re-imagine the production
on the Delmarva Peninsula. This location change necessitated a few other
minor plot �improvements� in order to stay true to the mission of
Radio from Downtown: If it�s worth doing, it�s worth overdoing.
The
spine-tingling program will feature the crack house band, the No-No
Nonette, the Downtown Players with Carl Kasell and Liane Hansen from
National Public Radio, singing chanteuses Hot Soup, University of MD
Center for Environmental Science President Don Boesch, and other guests to
be announced. The program will be broadcast on the world wide web and on
local radio stations.
Host
and producer Van Williamson hopes Delmarva residents will flock to this
show: �I can�t be responsible if people are just too blind to see the
value in this type of activity, no matter how nebulous. Name one other
production that still proudly lives up to its own publicity: It�s Not
That Far from Art. Talk about truth in advertising. I rest my case.�
