“The Winni Players’ annual live radio play is back for a second time this year! Step back in time to when radio was king and the family gathered around to hear their favorite dramas. After the popularity of this winter’s Sherlock Holmes, we are pleased to jump back to this side of the pond for a trio of American classics this fall including “The Green Hornet,” “The Lone Ranger,” and “Challenge of the Yukon.” With live Foley sound and a cast of talented voice actors, the live radio play is a highlight of the community theatre season!”
