Radio Plays and Sound Effects: Part 1

Today, campers were introduced to radio plays and how sound effects are used to enhance a story. We listened to Ray Bradbury’s “Zero Hour”, a sci-fi tale about an alien invasion. With the scripts present, we were able to see the instructions for sound effects while listening to the results in the audio. Tomorrow, we’ll make our own sound effects and receive a demonstration from Bricolage Theater’s Tami Dixon.
