NoSoapRadio

No Soap...Radio?
The idea is to create 1930s style radio drama live in the Media Arts Studio, including sound effects and music. The end result will be a series of audio podcasts and video performances that will be played back on channel 98. I'm hoping to find students who are interested in writing and/or performing drama, making foley (sound effects) and writing and/or performing music.

Students will:
 * gain an understanding of developing and writing dramatic story and dialogue
 * learn how to create sound effects
 * gain experience performing
 * work in a collaborative group

We will be meeting every Thursday int he Media Arts Studio from 3-4:30 starting Feb 3 and going to May 5.
