COPAKE, NY –The Two Of Us Productions, the award winning theater company based in Columbia County NY, is pleased to present their Virtual Live-Staged Reading for 2024. Our 3rd installment is two exciting Dimension-X radio dramas: “The Lost Race” and “The Parade”.This performance is being presented on Saturday evening February 17th, 2024 at 7:00pm in collaboration with Roving Actors’ Repertory Ensemble (RARE) Inc.
The Lost Race – A group of future space travelers discovers a previously unexplored planet. A planetary survey shows that artifacts from the “Lost Race” are likely on the planet. Upon further investigation, and a lot of ups & down elements, they discover via the new artifacts they’ve found that the “Lost Race” is actually the precursors to the human race. The back story is fear of atomic contamination and mutations in the 1950s/60s being used to tell a parallel story of the horror felt by an existing ancient civilization that also discovers atomic power and are horrified that they are mutating ….. into ……. humans.
The Parade – A normal looking person claiming to be a Martian hires a publicity agency to “sell a new product”. The usual 1950’s publicity approach is to tease the public with a series of increasingly energetic and suggestive newspaper advertisements culminating in a big “splashy” event to unveil the product. So after sending out the series of newspaper and radio “teasers” the publicity agency schedules a huge parade to unveil the new product, complete with midget Martians, full-size actors dressed as Martians, and even horses with helmets and long antenna on their heads. Only when it is too late does the publicity agent RYAN discover that he was truly hired by Martians and that the parade is going to be used by the Martians to demonstrate that they are capable of killing all of earth as a way to get the earth to surrender to Martian domination.
