Radio Theatre brings mystery & intrigue to stage
Vashon Allied Arts presents Vashon Radio Theatre in Vashon Noir, an evening of old-time radio drama, with believable yet quirky characters, Saturday, October 20, 7:30 pm, at VAA.
Featuring live recording of crime fiction thriller Taskmasters and studio-version of Old Flames, Islander Fr. Marc Powell adapted both pieces from short stories written by award-winning California novelist Simon Wood. Wood will attend for post-show Q&A.
Wood has published over 150 stories and articles. He is included in "Best of" anthologies, and contributes to Writer’s Digest. He won the Anthony Award (a literary award for mystery writers) for Working Stiffs, Accidents Waiting to Happen, Paying the Piper and We All Fall Down.
In addition, Vashon Noir will include the studio-version of radio play 350 Pounds, an environmental cautionary tale Powell adapted from the short story by Marybeth Holleman. She also penned The Heart of the Sound: An Alaskan Paradise Found and Nearly Lost, a memoir about the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill into Alaska’s Prince William Sound. Works by both Wood and Holleman will be available at the show provided by Vashon Bookshop.
Tickets: $10/$13, are available at Heron’s Nest, Vashon Bookshop and
