Radio Ghost
Oct 22, 1982
Description:
Radio Ghost was the debut production from Victor Coleman and Whitney Smith’s theatre company Shadowland. Using a rear screen, shadow screen, and pre-recorded soundtrack, the multimedia performance paid homage to Reginald Fessden, inventor of the AM radio; and Jessica Dragonette, the first lady of song on radio. These figures were presented as characters within a historical framework, before moving into a fantasy realm.
