THE PETALUMA RADIO PLAYERS
In less than four years on the San Francisco Bay Area theatre circuit, after breathing new life into radio classics like 'The Shadow' in 2015, followed by the staging of 'Slay Bells Ring (Are you listening?),' four comedic original one-acts which played to sold out houses at the Hotel Petaluma in 2016, the Petaluma Radio Players, the North Bay's most eclectic and energized radio theatre company, are continuing to churn out a cornucopia of radio plays including vintage dramas like 'One Way Passage' (1932) and 'Trifles' (1916), and modern fare like the tear-jerking 'The Next Move' and in-stitches comedic noir parody, 'Story: A Detective Story.' We produce two radio plays per month. Join our podcast. Join our mailing list: info@petalumaradioplayers.com. Prepare to giggle and cry.

Petaluma Radio Players
When a Nebraska farmer dies at the end of a rope in his bedroom, and the county Sheriff and young D.A. show up to investigate, their particularly male point of view might be blinding them to clues that are right before the womenfolks' eyes. In this classic one-act play by early 20th century breakthrough Feminist playwright and novelist, Susan Glaspell, gender roles are as much a factor in solving a murder as are the knitting needles and dirty kitchen towels and dead canary that point to a caged life set free. Or was it?The recording of this play was made possible by a generous grant from OUT WEST GARAGE of Petaluma, California. (outwestgarage.com)
