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 2025. Our 1st installment is two exciting Suspense theater radio dramas: “The Moment Of Darkness” and “Riabouchinska”. This performance is being presented on Saturday evening January 18th, 2025 at 7:00pm in collaboration with Roving Actors’ Repertory Ensemble (RARE) Inc.
The Moment Of Darkness – Marjorie Grey is convinced that her Aunt Hester’s interest in contacting her recently deceased husband is being used by the renowned medium Georges Ravel to get her money. Marjorie enlists the aid of diplomat Mr. Blake and family lawyer Mr. Stevens to thwart Ravel’s plan. Meeting together at Hester’s clifftop beach house they attend Ravel’s séance, but in that locked room a blackmailer is murdered, but not by Ravel!
Riabouchinska – we meet a certain John Fabian, a talented ventrilouquist being interrogated by Lt. Krovich regarding how a dead body came to be found in the theater cellar. In the midst of this tense conversation we hear a small sweet voice coming from the exquisite varnished box containing Fabian’s ventriloquist dummy. To the exasperation of the police, the lovely female doll, named Ria, persists in interrupting and correcting Fabian’s answers to Lt. Krovitch’s questions. As the story unfolds before us, we find out that Fabian has created Riabouchinska and used his talent to imbue her with a life of her own.
