Readers’ Theater: Radio Days

Glen Arbor Arts Center’s Readers’ Theater Radio Days is a nostalgic look back at the golden era of radio. This production is actually two playlets, with the first being a comedy and the second a mystery. A broadcast from the NBC program ”The Fabulous Dr. Tweedy” deals with a bumbling college professor and a young child left by her father into his care. A CBS program “Inner Sanctum” provides the second offering, which was called “The Voice On The Wire.”
