A special treat is in store for those continuing the Art Walk on Saturday, May 3, as The Second Stage Players perform old time radio scripts on the Performing Arts Studio stage in the Norman Depot, 200 South Jones Avenue. The performances are free and everyone is welcome.  The Second Stage Players performing at the Depot In 2006, a group of seniors, drawn together by their interest in theatre and acting, formed their own theatre group, The Second Stage Players, as a program of the Performing Arts Studio. The players perform different types of reader’s theatre, such as one act plays, interpretive readings, and their favorite—old time radio scripts performed LIVE, for various groups and organizations in the metro area. The nostalgia of listening to Fibber McGee and Molly, The Lone Ranger, and Father Knows Best on a centrally located radio in the home, is being passed to the younger generation as the shows are re-enacted in a setting of old radio shows. The Saturday morning performances in the Depot include: 10:00: Fibber McGee and Molly: Fibber's Closet 11:00: Father Knows Best: The Housekeeper 12:00: My Favorite Husband: The Wills 1:00: Easy Aces: The PsychiatristThe laughter from the group meetings echoes throughout the Depot as the players practice and relive the past. If you are fifty plus, and interested in being a part of The Second Stage Players, call The PAS for more information. Seniors’ acting wishes can be easily accomplished since there is no script memorization required in reader’s theatre. Enjoy “First Time Around, Photographs by Emily Dutcher” while in the Depot. For additional information on Performing Arts Studio programs, call 405-307-9320. PAS hours are 8:00 am to 3:00 pm Tuesday through Friday and 1:00 to 5:00 Sundays.
