365 Days / 365 Plays: January 27

The second-to-last episode... suspense builds...

...what will we do for Sunday?

365 Days / 365 Plays: January 26

Friday's installment...

And, as if getting the podcast out every day weren't enough, today we deleted all the source files for Sunday's episode. That's right -- we are starting all over again from scratch, without actors, equipment, or, apparently, much of a clue. If you have ideas for what we should do, leave them in the comments...

365 Days / 365 Plays: January 25

Today's Episode of Radio Free Theater's 365 Days / 365 Plays podcast, like all the other episodes in the series, was recorded in one long take, with actors, sound effects, and narration all sharing space in the same room.

Radio Theater -- when it is authentically produced, with a minimum of technological fuss -- implicitly questions the boundaries of the theatrical event. The actors were interacting live with one another, and the event was unmediated by technology at the time of its creation. Does this make it less "Theatrical"?

The third podcast in the series. And the sun is still up in New Haven. It's like we're seven hours early!

365 Days / 365 Plays: January 23

Today, the second podcast of RFT's weeklong series.

A little context: In 2002, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks set out to write one play each day for a whole year. The collected cycle, entitled 365 Days / 365 Plays, premiered in November 2006, in an unprecedented collaboration involving more than 700 arts groups nationwide, each of which committed to present seven plays -- one week's worth -- during the week that they were composed.

January 22, 2007: The first day of the 11th week of Suzan-Lori Parks's unprecedented, yearlong play cycle, 365 Days / 365 Plays, and the beginning of a week of podcasts presented by Radio Free Theatre.

It's 11:59 by my clock -- we got it in just under the wire.

See you tomorrow!
