 Come to Oracle and gather around the old RCA tube set for an evening of entertainment unlike any other one-act play cycle going on in Chicago. Strap on a pair of genuine RADIO GOGGLES, and watch 3 vintage radio shows come to life. In Oracle’s performance style, the actual recordings are played over the sound system while the actors lip-sync, pantomime, and shadow-play to the recording. It’s a fun, irreverent style that builds on the expertise of those old time voice actors. Oracle presents RADIO GOGGLES as both its mainstage finale for the 2010/2011 season, as well as its 2nd Outreach offering for senior citizens. Sundays are devoted to touring all 3 shows to area nursing homes and retirement communities, as well as transitional homeless shelters. | ||

My Favorite Husband Episode #66 “The French Lesson” Original Airdate: December 9, 1949
Lucille Ball was one of America’s first true television stars. Before “I Love Lucy”, she created and starred in “My Favorite Husband”, a hit CBS radio show that was the inspiration for “I Love Lucy”. “The French Lesson” is a classic sit-com scenario in which Liz Cooper finds herself in the flattering and awkward circumstance of having her debonair French tutor making outlandish passes at her. A happily married woman, she responds with all of Lucille Ball’s familiar comic antics. Oracle’s cast combines farce and physical comedy to create a stage performance reminiscent of Lucille Ball’s onscreen persona.
Directed by Laura K Smith*
Featuring: Victoria Gilbert as Liz Cooper (Lucille Ball’s character) Rob Winnie as George Cooper Sam Church as Iris Atterbury, and others Ben Veatch as Rudolph Atterbury Matt Allis as Jacques Duval, and others------------------------------- |
Gunsmoke Episode #103 “Cara” Original Airdate: May 1, 1954 Before becoming a popular television series, Gunsmoke was a long-running weekly radio series recounting the tales of Marshal Matt Dillon’s efforts to uphold justice in the Wild West. The story of “Cara” has us wondering how Dillon will handle an old flame that comes to town - and the dark past that follows her in. The situation has Marshal reeling to unravel the mystery of Cara’s unexpected presence and the confusion of his own unearthed emotions. “Cara” is Oracle’s second installment from the Gunsmoke series. Like last fall’s “Trouble in Kansas”, it promises to capture the stoic nobility and excitement of America’s classic western genre.
Directed by Ben Fuchsen*, Artistic Director Featuring: Eli Branson as Chester Proudfoot Sam Church as Kitty Rob Winnie as Sheriff Bensen, and others Ben Veatch as Doc, and others Kat Ochsner as Cara ------------------------------- |
