I went to a dinner with a bunch of people from work this evening. The highlight of the evening was a 1940’s-style radio play. There were four actors in the company, one who was the “director”, a sound guy and two radio actors. Five people were drafted from the audience to read roles cold, including me. One of the five was the sound effects guy.

I’d never done something like this before, but I must say it went quite well.

Before the main feature, there were a number of short bits involving people from the audience to get people into the mood. I was conscripted to play Dr. Evulon, a Bond-esque villain with a henchman who was played by the director of my division at work.

All in all, it was a great evening! I had a lot of fun and according to my coworkers apparently I’m quite good at that sort of thing. 🙂

The show was put on by BigTime Productions, who deserve a plug, so here it is. 🙂
