RADIO PLAY EXTENDS!
Performance Space 122 presents Reggie Watts & Tommy Smith
Now playing through May 28, 2011
"Radio Play is meant to be listened to more than seen, which is why much of it occurs in the dark. Inspired by a media that is now virtually extinct, it features songs, stories and even commercials in the model of an old-time radio program. But these aren't your grandma's stories" - The Wall St. Journal
“Expect a nonlinear, surreal spin of songs, stories, and soundscapes that play with the politics of pop culture. Embrace the retro-fueled fun with your eyes closed and ears open.”
- The Village Voice
After an outstanding first week of shows, PS122 is excited to announce the extended run of Radio Play. Modeled after radio programs of yesteryear, RADIO PLAY gathers a group of actors, musicians and sound-effects artists to create a surreal sonic entertainment. Songs, stories and soundscapes collide in a comedic mash-up of non-temporal quasi-political pop-cultural tropes, performed by Reggie Watts, with H. I. Bonner, Beth Hoyt, Mary Jane Gibson, Marshall York and Jen Rondeau on the Theremin.
