ON-AIR/On-Stage
The Holiday Radio Plays

ON AIR/On Stage is Articulate Theatre Company's exploration into the world of radio plays. Imagine stepping into a room where your imagination is instantly engaged by nothing more than microphones, actors, and an "On the Air" sign that takes you from story to story, effortlessly.

And let's not forget the oh-so-important SOUND EFFECTS TEAM! Watch this talented group transport you from a snowy mountainside, to the not-so-mean streets of Chelsea, to the inside of a drink glass, to a snowy railroad station - all with some shoes, corn flakes, chimes, and a few other "secret" items.

Please join us as we romp through the winter holidays with the talented writers and actors of Articulate!

Meet our panelists...
