THE PODCAST
Conceived and directed by Josh Johnston and produced by Staci Levine/ Groundswell Theatricals, RADIO PLAY REVIVAL celebrates the golden age of radio plays in the now-second golden age of audio. Recorded and streamed for radio and online (and live as we begin to return to theaters), RADIO PLAY REVIVAL features great American actors performing great American works of literature: short stories, one-act plays, articles from periodicals, new works— from the universally known like Mark Twain, to those who never got recognition in their time like Alice Moore Dunbar-Nelson, to modern talent like John Patrick Shanley, RADIO PLAY REVIVAL pays homage to classic storytelling for today's modern audience.
FROM JOSH JOHNSTON... America speaks to me from its past. There is too much going on in the world today to grasp it all, but I want to preserve and keep alive the foundational aspects that once made this country a leader in culture, the arts, and worldwide innovation. We don’t listen anymore; it’s all about explosions, superheroes, and medical dramas. I believe American literature is at the heart of this country’s greatness, and through this project, I hope we can all listen again. |
