TIC's John Shea and Eric Joseph, Executive Director of The Bay Colony Shakespeare Company (BCSC) produce the radio dramas. TIC strives to bring live theater to those who might not have access to it otherwise due to accessibility, transportation or financial issues and to bring their audience of over 30,000 listeners fresh, new and exciting content.
"Sorry, Wrong Number" A Smash Hit
In June, 12 Radio and Podcast Players performed "Sorry, Wrong Number" in front of a small studio audience and it was a tremendous hit. Those who missed it may listen to the podcast on TIC's website, http://ticnetwork.org/programs/special-programming/
