Every Middle School needs a middle school play, but at The Lovett School in Atlanta, it took the form of a radio play. |
 |
 |
Director Steve Bickley set out not only to produce a middle school play,
but to teach history and what some consider a lost art form in this country. The "recreation" of a live broadcast from a typical 5000 watt network affiliate station was presented as reminiscences from radio's golden age. The serial episode "Dancer in the Dark," was written by an Atlanta writer, Thomas E. Fuller, originally for The Atlanta Radio Theatre Company, and was adapted for the Middle School production.
