Radio Drama
ARTS RATIONAL
Thursday October 31, 9pm – 10pm Live Broadcast
Co-op Radio 100.5FM
Theatre In the Raw presents five scenes with six actors from the upcoming musical The Raymur Mothers by Bob Sarti and Bill Sample, directed by Jay Hamburger. This will be a live radio broadcast of dramatic highlights from the larger theatrical work. The play is based on the true story of mothers from the Raymur Housing project in the early 1970s who couldn’t stand to see their children cross the treacherous railroad tracks to get to elementary school every morning. What did they do? Tune in to Arts Rational and find out how these young mothers banded together to take charge of a situation that was ground breaking to a neighbourhood close to our hearts. For your listening pleasure.
This event was on Day 9 of the 12 Days of the Heart of the City Festival. Please check the website for more events!
