SAG-AFTRA LA Presents the Golden Age of Radio

Since it began in 2010, the SAG-AFTRA Radio Play (SARP) Committee has recreated radio classics that celebrate the history of live radio broadcasts and entertain the SAG-AFTRA members and radio fans in attendance. The programs, free of charge and offered in partnership with the Autry Museum, are presented in the museum’s Wells Fargo Theater without props or staged acting techniques, brought to life through the actor’s talented voices. Members who participate — whether as the show’s director, cast or crew — have the opportunity to enhance their creative and voiceover skills, among the other benefits of participating.

In February, in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, the SARP Committee presented Love is On the Air to a full house, featuring Blondie, directed by Bob Telford, and The Judy Canova Show, directed by Clyde Sacks. Each show kept the crowd laughing throughout the evening. Audience members had the opportunity to visit the museum galleries and enjoyed light refreshments before the night’s entertainment began.  

The SARP Committee will return to the Autry Museum in June. For more information, contact the Member Education Programming Department, (323) 634-8277.
