For the past two years, we have offered a radio play (The Adventures of Sam Spade, Sherlock Holmes) as well as inspired pre-show and intermission entertainment. This year, in addition to always-popular singing and dancing, we will present two radio plays: a double feature!

Act I will feature Dick Tracy and the Big Top Murders, a who-done-it focusing on the renowned sleuth's investigation of murder and mayhem in a traveling circus company.
Act II is a charming comedy, Princess O'Hara, featuring the colorful characters of Damon Runyan, whose short stories spawned the musical Guys and Dolls
