Now it was time to market the idea and buy some much
needed equipment. Along with doing an email blast of the flyer to many
community websites, the Family Folklore group went door to door plastering the
community with the flyers. A two week contract for advertising on the
Miller Marquee helped bring in local voice actors!
To learn more about making a radio play our Executive
Director had lunch with a producer from the SAG-AFTRA Senior Radio Players who
explained how to set up, practice and present a radio play. Then On Tuesday
July 22nd at 7 p.m. two of our board members took the South Shore train to
Chicago to the Chicago Cultural Center and enjoyed a radio play, entitled “Radio
as You May Remember It!”
Inspired and recharged we were ready to start our auditions.
Family Folklore held them in late July. Several people came and auditioned. They
also consented to being interviewed for our documentary. After filling out
permission slips, they were videotaped being interviewed with our freshly
purchased light kit brightening the room.
