Radio Show Workshop Presentations
Alice in Wonderland was adapted from the original story by Lewis Carroll into a 30 minute radio play for our students. Two casts of nine kids each worked together to record both foley (sound effects) as well as the character parts. The students met 1-2 times a week for eight weeks via Zoom, recording the final presentation on their final day. PPP’s Tech Director then edited together their recording for a smooth audio presentation! These eighteen students were between the ages of 8-12, and were directed by Emily Pennington.
Diamonds Cast
Spades Cast
Director and script writer/adapter Gary DeMattei created a modern twist telling of this Shakespeare classic for our teen and adult students. There are four casts, featuring the talents of all workshop participants. The casts met twice a week for 12 weeks over zoom, recording each cast’s 3 hour long presentation over zoom on their final week. Some of the foley (sound effects) were created by students, the rest by production staff.
Our first cast’s finished product is complete and the remaining three will be available soon!
