The Post-Meridian Radio Players are presenting a live radio drama performance featuring two amazing science fiction programs.
First is the scifi-comedy Red Shift: Interplanetary Do-Gooder in “Havoc Over Holowood" which both parodies and pays homage to the pulp sci-fi serials of the 1930s and
40s (with a bit of the 50s thrown in for good measure!), follows Red, Lumpy, Doc Alberts and Penny Parker, Girl Reporter as they try to save beloved space celebrity JetPack Jones from his worst nightmare: angry fans with atomic weaponry!
Following that is "The Day the Earth Stood Still". From the long-running Lux Radio Theater comes this adaptation of the classic 1951 science-fiction film. Originally airing on January 4th, 1954, this production featured Michael Rennie reprising his performance of Klaatu. Lux Radio Theater was famous for producing radio adaptations of major motion pictures, often with the original lead actors.

This adaptation of Edmund H. North's original film script was written by Milton Geiger. The film script itself was based on the Harry Bates short story "Farewell to the Master".
The show will also have retro candies, including Moon Pies (in six flavors!), the famous Byfar Syrup and PMRP CDs for sale!
