Stealing Lincoln: The Radio Play (The Cleveland Radio Players)

Milton Matthew Horowitz

Stealing Lincoln is a one-act historical-based spoof of the attempted kidnapping of Former President Abraham Lincoln's dead body. Based on a true story, this is a re-enact-imagiment of what it would be like to by a fly-on-the-wall in Big Jim Kennally's counterfeit gang in their first bodysnatching heist. The gang is infiltrated by one of the first Secret Service spies, Lewis Swegel. Although the real conversations may never be known, The Cleveland Radio Players would like to think it happened something like this. . .

Starring: (in order of appearance) Robert Branch - Abraham Lincoln, James " Big Jim" Kenally, Jack Matuszewski - Lincoln Honor Guard, Denny Castiglione - Father, Giovanni Castiglione - Son, Llenelle Gibson - Daughter, Cody Zack - Terrence Mullen, Charles Hargrave - Jack Hughes, Logan Smith - Lewis Swegel, Milton Horowitz - Patrick D. Tyrrelle, Cory Shy - Secret Service Agent, David Flynt - Billy Brown, Train Conductor

The Cleveland Radio Players is the only company dedicated to the production of modern radio plays in the 21st century. Our radio plays include a unique voice for each character, sound effects, and music for an engaging listening experience. No other acting ensemble produces dramatized or Radio Play style storytelling from live performances. The Cleveland Radio Players reproduce works of living playwrights only.

FM: The Rise and Fall of Rock Radio

Richard Neer

" It was all so honest, before the end of our collective innocence. Top-40 jocks screamed and yelled and sounded mightier than God on millions of transistor radios. But on F M radio it was all spun out for only you. On a golden web by a master weaver driven by 50, 000 magical watts of crystal clear power. . . before the days of trashy, hedonistic dumbspeak and disposable three-minute ditties. . . in the days where rock lived at many addresses in many cities. " (from F M)

As a young man, Richard Neer dreamed of landing a job at W N E W in New York - one of the revolutionary F M stations across the country that were changing the face of radio by rejecting strict formatting and letting disc jockeys play whatever they wanted. He felt that when he got there, he'd have made the big time. Little did he know he'd have shaped rock history as well.

F M: The Rise and Fall of Rock Radio chronicles the birth, growth, and death of free-form rock-and-roll radio through the stories of the movement's flagship stations. In the late '60s and early seventies - at stations like K S A N in San Francisco, W B C N in Boston, W M M R in Philadelphia, K M E T in Los Angeles, W N E W, and others - disc jockeys became the gatekeepers, critics, and gurus of new music. Jocks like Scott Muni, Vin Scelsa, Jonathan Schwartz, and Neer developed loyal followings and had incredible influence on their listeners and on the early careers of artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Genesis, the Cars, and many others.

Full of fascinating firsthand stories, F M documents the commodification of an iconoclastic phenomenon, revealing how counterculture was coopted and consumed by the mainstream. Richard Neer was an eyewitness to, and participant in, this history. F M is the tale of his exhilarating ride.

Highlights include, haunting audio letters from a soldier in the foxholes of Vietnam, the surprising tale of Liberace and the Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band, the voices and stories of Mohawk iron workers at the World Trade Center, and a 1977 home recording made by Francis Ford Coppola and his five-year old daughter Sofia. Funny, historic and deeply moving, this audio time capsule of American life begs to be listened to again and again.
