Northwestern CRC Radiothon

Lane J. Lubell and Company performed two LIVE radio dramas on Tuesday 12/5.

 "The Judge's House" Radio play by Lane J. Lubell, Adapted from a short story by Bram Stoker published in 1891.
"Sorry, Wrong Number " by the Generic Radio Workshop for the series "Suspense." originally aired in 1943. 

Yes, these were both performed "Live," (including sound effects) just as in the days of old-time radio. Granted, I'm biased, as proof I point to the fact this site is called "Lubell Family Blog;" but I still think I showing some measure of objectivity when I say the performance is impressive. Especially when you factor in that this was accomplished with just a few hours of rehearsal.
