PROJECT AUDION 33 - Caltex Theatre "Bad Day at Black Rock"
b'
Today is a good day to listen to\\xa0Bad Day at Black Rock, Project Audion\'s latest radio drama recreation. We\'re going far afield with this 1959 show, because by this time in America, television had killed off the great radio movie adaptation series like "Lux Radio Theatre." In other countries like Australia, radio drama still thrived through shows like\\xa0Caltex Theatre. They adapted\\xa0Bad Day at Black Rock\\xa0from the gritty, Oscar-nominated 1955 drama with Spencer Tracy, where one man takes on a dying town that harbors a dirty secret. Now Project Audion recreates it with a transcribed-live coast-to-coast cast which includes:
MACREEDY: Les Marsden (CA)
SMITH/JENKINSON: Pete Lutz (TX)
COLEY/ANNOUNCER: Tom Konkle (CA)
DOC: Dana Gonsalves (TX)
SHERIFF/CONDUCTOR 2: John Bell (AL)
PETE: Austin Hanna (TX)
HASTINGS: Gino Vianelli (CA)
LIZ: Jesirae Kesler (TX)
VOICE/SAM/CONDUCTOR 1: Larry Groebe (TX)
Pete Lutz directed, & Larry Groebe produced
