Stepping out of our usual format Speaking of Stories transforms Center Stage into a 1940’s radio station to present our second annual Speaking of Sci-Fi, an evening of classic radio plays Friday and Saturday, September 16 and 17. We’ll bring you thrills, chills and, of course, a hero to save the day!

Everyone loves a hero, and Speaking of Sci-Fi brings you two – Superman and Flash Gordon. In addition to these heroic adventures, we will join the Mysterious Traveler on a journey into the realm of the strange and terrifying! An episode of X Minus One rounds out the evening with a little time travel into the future – promising “thrilling adventures in a million could be years, on a thousand may be worlds”!

These classic plays are brought to life through the talented voices of Hunter Bodine, Jon Koons, Devon Bell and Chris Turner. The setting of a live 40’s radio broadcast will replace Speaking of Stories usual format, complete with on-stage special effects provided by Chris Turner, who wowed the audience with his sound effects magic for the first Speaking of Sci-Fi last fall. This year Chris will be showing off his acting talents as well as his sound effects wizardry.

Speaking of Sci-Fi is the first of three shows Speaking of Stories will present this fall at Center Stage. October brings Twice Told Tales, an evening of fairy tales set to music with live accompaniment provided by the Robin Cox Ensemble. In December we close out this new series with the return of Holiday Chestnuts, our popular Christmas show which this year will include performances by Tony Miratti and Ed Romine.

Speaking of Sci-Fi plays Friday, September 16 and Saturday, September 17 at 8pm at Center Stage Theater, 751 Paseo Nuevo, in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. Box Office hours are Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. and 1 hour before each performance. Tickets are $20, or you can buy a subscription for all three shows for just $45. Visa, Mastercard and American Express are welcome. Call the box office at (805)963-0408 or log on to www.centerstagetheater.org.
