PMRP is spearheading a nationwide campaign to spread the joy of terrifying radio drama to all the corners of America!
This Halloween, several radio drama troupes will be presenting live performances of Washington Irving's classic American horror tale, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". Each troupe will perform their own adaptation of the story: from its original late 18th century setting to the modern day.
Organizations that have signed on so far include:
For our part, PMRP is thrilled to have acquired the talents of Canadian playwright Roy Sallows (former story editor and writer for the Friday's Curse TV series—known as Friday the 13th: The Series in the US—and author of last year's Big Broadcast of 1946 feature, "But Oh, What Happened to Hutchings!"), who has turned out a truly delightful script set in the original tale's locale of Tarrytown, NY in 1790. PMRP's version will be performed as the feature episode of Tomes of Terror, part of The Big Broadcast of 1954, this October.
After Halloween, recordings of all the groups' performances will be compiled into a CD set and made available to the public.
