”Arch Oboler’s Plays: Special to Hollywood” remastered recreation of audio drama from 1945

Arch Oboler was one of radio's most accomplished writer/producers. Although he may be best known for his creepy horror scripts, he cared deeply about the human condition and regularly tackled weighty topics. "Special To Hollywood" was an indictment of the vacuousness of Hollywood celebrity, told in a sort of proto-"Twilight Zone" form. The story was performed on three occasions, and the 1945 script (from the series "Arch Oboler's Plays") became the core of Project Audion's second-ever show back in 2020. Six years later, we've gone back to our old Zoom files and remixed them because - well, just because it's a yarn that's worth re-hearing with a message that is still relevant today. Our cast:

Patte Rosebank, Canada
Tim Burns, Kansas
Larry Jurrist, Florida
Trevor Rines, Canada
Paul Arbisi, Illinois
Directed by Patte Rosebank, & Produced by Larry Groebe
