HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Friday night is another performance for the Family Community Theatre's Old Time Radio Hour.
"We're going to do a version of an episode of Gunsmoke and one of The Lone Ranger," said director Craig Williams. "We're going to have a night of westerns and it will be about an hour in length. We're going to start with Gunsmoke and end with The Lone Ranger."
Eagle Radio's own Glen Grunwald is in the cast for both episodes.
"This is not just sitting up there and reading the script," Grunwald said. "You have to do voice inflection and kind of remember how they listen. I've kind of come up with a character. The same way with the Lone Ranger. He had a specific cadence and voice pattern that I'm trying to mimic to some extent."
Unlike some things other local groups have been doing, the show online Friday night is free, but Family Community Theatre would encourage donations if you like the show.
"It is a time when it is difficult," Williams said. "It's difficult for our actors, because they don't have a chance to be on stage. If people are wanting to assist us, we certainly would accept that and we would be very appreciative. You would be our hero."
The performance begins at 7 p.m. Friday on Youtube.
