The Columbia Workshop || The Fall of the City | April 11, 1937Columbia Workshop, pioneered all kinds of special sound effects and other dramatic techniques. In 1937 it put on a poetic drama by Archibald MacLeish called The Fall of the City, featuring a 22-year-old actor with an unforgettably expressive voice. The play was a sensation, which helped point the way to what radio could achieve. It also made the actor, Orson Welles, an overnight star.Adelaide Klein as Dead WomanCarleton Young as 1st MessengerBurgess Meredith as OratorDwight Weist as 2nd MessengerEdgar Stehli as PriestWilliam Pringle as GeneralGuy Repp, Brandon Peters, Karl Swenson, Dan Davies, and Kenneth Delmar as Antiphonal Chorus(above from Wikipedia): : : : :You can donate to show your support for my podcast and the time I put into creating and posting every week.
