Mick and Moira is a rewrite of a classic radio show starring

“Nick and Nora.” It was rewritten by Michael Massie to

include more female characters and update it a bit for

today’s audience. “Nick and Nora” was a Radio series called

“The Adventures of the Thin Man.” It aired between 1941 and

1950. The radio series came about after a film series and was

loosely based off of a novel by Dashiell Hammett in 1934. Mr.

Massie kept the premise and changed many of the

characters and much of the dialogue. He then wrote a brand

new piece and recorded it to try and get an old radio feel for

the students. They also reworked a Five Minute Mystery for

recording.

“39 Steps” was originally penned by Alfred Hitchcock. Joe

Landry then rewrote the piece for stage as a radio production

for COVID days: “The 39 Steps: A Live Radio Play.”

A big thanks to the cast and crew. These kids wrote the

commercials, brainstormed the sound effects, and wrote

lyrics as a group. They are incredibly talented. Check the

website for audio of a couple other radio shows we recorded.
