Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2009, 6:30 p.m., at the Gnu’s Room in Auburn for a rare, special performance by the Department of Theatre in the College of Liberal Arts at Auburn University.
The Auburn University Radio Flyer Theatre Company presents two of O. Henry’s short stories, “The Gift of the Magi” and “The Last Leaf,” in its first holiday podcast radio theatre production. Both stories are written in classic O. Henry style with his trademark twist at the end.
A special community broadcast of the production will be held Tueday, December 15, at 6:30 p.m. at The Gnu’s Room, 414 S. Gay St.
Auburn University Theatre’s Kelly Walker and Dan LaRocque will be on hand to answer questions after this performance.
Produced by Auburn University Theatre in the College of Liberal Arts, the holiday broadcast of O. Henry stories features a cast of Auburn University Theatre professors and students. The presentation is reminiscent of “audio theater” popular from the 1930s into the early 1950s, the Golden Age of Radio, and heard on programs such as Orson Welles’ Mercury Theatre on the Air and the Lux Radio Theater.
