Sherlock Holmes is one of these most often portrayed fictional characters, so of course, the Little Theatre of Norfolk had to give it a shot. The script for this production of “The Musgrave Ritual” was acquired from the Generic Radio Workshop. It was part of a series from Nigel Bruce(Watson) and Basil Rathbone(Holmes). The original episode with Bruce and Rathbone aired in December 1939.
This episode was recorded with vintage studio techniques, including live foley, in the style of radio dramas from the 1930s, before the advent of television. People used to gather around the radio and listen to "Jack Benny", "The Shadow", "Judy Canova", and "Escape!" Now you can relive the Golden Days of Radio, and enjoy a cracking good story to boot! Listen with the lights off and headphones on, if you dare!

We hope you have had a peaceful Memorial Day weekend, and apologize for getting this out later in the day than usual. Between juggling paid gigs, and not wanting to upset the solemnity of the holiday, we figured releasing a little later in the day today was a good balance.
This episode we spoke with some of the cast of our upcoming world premier, For the Honor and Glory, a drama which spans across time to show us the lives of a few different couples whose lives and relationships were affected by various historic wars. A big thank you to Lisa Hogan, Kendrix Brown, Isis Marné, and Abby Fedorowicz for sitting down with us!

Today we introduce a new host, Kaiti! She and BA got together for another pandemic recap. LTN’s community extends past the volunteers responsible for emergency management.

Kaiti is a high school senior looking to transition to college in a global pandemic.
This conversation chronicles what it’s like to go to school (and to try to get into school, and try to become a functioning adult) while the whole world is in crisis mode, and it went so many places, we skipped the Community Feature for time.

Lisa and BA sit down to discuss how technology is assisting in keeping the performing arts alive during this necessary time of social distancing.
