Willamette Radio Workshop

The Portland, Oregon based, Willamette Radio Workshop is a professional audio theater company producing both both new scripts, and re-imaginings of Golden Age OTR productions, both live and in the studio. They are dedicated to the belief that the audio theater medium has a powerful ongoing role to play in our world. They also host the "Writers on the Air" Workshop each year, developing new scripts from new writers, and producing as many of the new works as possible.

The Workshop has won multiple Ogle Awards from The American Society For Science Fiction Audio ( Murder of Crows, Frankenstein, Next Year’s Girl). They have been featured in several newspaper articles as well as stories on radio, television and a feature story in Horizon Air Magazine. They broadcast many of their stories on Stage and Studio with Dmae Roberts on KBOO 90.7 fm

Sam A. Mowry is the Artistic Director -- a man who you would swear has inherited the voice (and the artistic vision) of Orson Welles. Cynthia McGean is a script writer, and runs the Writer’s Workshop. Robert Kowal is the Live Sound Engineer and Producer. Martin Gallagher and Marc Rose are the resident Sound Designers and Composers.

Next Year's Girl
Each year a small village must send one of its young girls to meet an unknown fate with the "Beast" who lives on the hill. This year's girl has exceptional courage. Will she be able to save next year's girl from the same fate?

A Murder of Crows
Three original tales of intrigue and terror -- each one spine-chillingly performed. Three different women run from three quite different, and quite inescapable fates.

Frankenstein
Mary Shelly's original tale of terror, of the limits of science, and of the folly of playing god. Well told, and remarkably true to the original novel, here is a production to keep you up at nights.

The Fall of the City
It is 1937, Fascism is advancing across Europe, and poet Archibald MacLeish writes for American radio "The Fall of the City" -- a cautionary tale not only about the times then, and remarkably, about the times now, and all times.
