Missed Our Radio Dramas? - No Worries!

Throughout January, Theatre and Communication Arts professor William Cameron taught the course COM250: Radio Drama. Students got the opportunity to preform live radio plays, some written by Professor Cameron and fellow classmates.  Check out Brad Hundt's story "Blast from the Past" about Bill Cameron's Radio Drama course, in the Washington Observer-Reporter.

Week 1 presented two dramatic dramas, starting with one of the most well-known suspenseful radio plays, Sorry Wrong Number by Lucilis Flotchor. 

The second drama was Professor Cameron's The Last Ride. 

Week 2 presented comedies, starting with Bill Cameron’s Public Speaking. 

We returned to high school in Pick a Side by Valerie Swick (’14).

Next we had Sidekicks by Jessica Zack (’14).  This play was recently presented at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival conference in Baltimore and was adapted for radio. 

We ended the string of comedies with Bill Cameron’s wacky comedy The Vicki and Jenna Show.
