THE MISADVENTURES OF DARKLIGHT & NIGHTBIRD!
Last year, I was lucky enough to have my 10-minute play, “Blind Date,” staged at the annual Bar Plays show produced by Cary Playwrights Forum (CPF) in Cary, North Carolina. Directed by Mia Peters, the play received a great reception with a great cast. So, when CPF put a call out for radio plays for their radio play contest, I wrote a sequel, “The Fallout.” I was not selected for the contest. However, I did receive an email from Christian O’Neal, host of the CPF Radio Hour, with an invite to perform both plays on the radio show! I got most of the original cast together and rewrote “Blind Date” to include radio narration and we recorded the show! Then, we found out that there was a glitch with the audio and Christian couldn’t make an mp3 of the performance. Finally, just a week or so ago, we performed the show again and ended up with the show posted here. A great time was had by all and now, you get to listen to the fruits of our labor!
“Blind Date” and “The Fallout” are performed back-to-back and the last third of the show is an interview with yours truly. Take a listen!
