"SINGLE
HANDEDLY REVIVING RADIO-STYLE DRAMATIZATIONS!" —Billboard Magazine
"Imagine students on stage, in front of microphones, scripts in hand. Behind
them, and all around them, Foley artists are creating wonderful sound effects
with glass bottles, celery stalks, flapping umbrellas, you name it! And of
course, music—performed live—to accompany the action...Rehearsals can be as
short as one week because there are no sets to build, no costumes to sew, and no
lights to focus. And best of all, everyone can be included because there are so
many talents involved: writing, acting, music, sound effects, audiovisual—it's
not just for the group who want to be actors!" —John de Lancie
"They're a treat for the eye and the ear." —Leonard Martin
