ABOUT
"DIXIE STENBERG AND BRASSY BATTALION":
"Umket
Industries Presents: The Dixie Stenberg and Brassy Battalion
Adventure Theater" is an original, ongoing, monthly sci-fi
serial adventure.
The Dixie
Stenberg and Brassy Battalion Adventure Theater grew out of
a shared love for the classic radio theatre shows of the 40s
and 50s. Specifically the aerial adventure drama, with shows
like Captain Midnight, Hop Harrigan, Adventures by Morse and
Speed Gibson. They showcased not only the dramatic range of
the writers of the period and the actors and actresses involved,
but also a somewhat larger canvas than most other radio serials
of the period.
The characters
in these shows would traipse all over the world, getting into
trouble and danger, sometimes not getting out again, most
times saving society or friends or their neighbor's cat, but
throughout all of this there was a high sense of fun and adventure
in the voices of the cast.
I have
been drawn to this style of radio drama since I was but a
wee bairn, too young to understand that it was actors reading
a script instead of some kind of news report from a faraway
place.
Thankfully
my parents set me straight in that regard.
And Jeffrey Bridges saw a kindred spirit.
Dixie
is written by Jeffrey and will be produced by myself, in the
classic radio drama style. We hope you will enjoy our first
completely original audio theatre effort!
Seth Adam
Sher
Director, "Umket Industries Presents: The Dixie Stenberg
and Brassy Battalion Adventure Theater"
---
In late
2005, Seth Sher came to me with an idea. He wanted to produce
and direct a new ongoing montly radio drama serial in the
style of the classic originals from the 1930s and '40s. He
asked me if I would be so inclined to write the project, and
I jumped at the chance.
I'm a
big fan of just about anything from that time period. Art
deco, the clothes, the cars... I'm not sure what it is, but
it's always been my favorite era of American history. And
there was something special about the science-fiction back
then. It was so innocent, so hopeful, so completely unburdened
and unrestrained. It's some of the most imaginative sci-fi
ever created.
Not only
is "Dixie" set during this time period, but we'll
be striving to maintain as much of an "old time radio"
feel as possible. We're shooting for something light-hearted
and, hopefully, something that's just barrels of fun.
Come along
for the ride, won't you? :)
