Lux Radio Theater Presents The Thin Man
written by George Wells and Sanford Barnett, adapted and directed by Jeremy Holstein
A recreation of the Lux Radio Theater’s broadcast from 1936! Nick and Nora Charles are urbane and witty newlyweds who both enjoy a good party, or an even better martini. They find themselves swept up in the mysterious disappearance of scientist Clyde Wynant, whether they like it or not. An adaptation of the famous novel by Dashell Hammett, which introduced the “married couple as sleuths” genre. Guest starring Asta the dog.

Trifles
by Susan Glaspell, adapted by Phoebe Roberts and directed by Hannah Baker
In our adaptation of this 1916 feminist play, loosely based on true events, Minnie Wright has been arrested for strangling her husband while he slept. As the sheriff and county attorney scour Minnie’s house for evidence, Mrs. Peters the sheriff’s wife and her friend Mrs. Hale take care of packing up a few things in the kitchen. They find some pretty interesting items there — but it's probably nothing, just women’s trifles, right?
