DAMON RUNYON THEATRE, Episode 53 Premiered Mar 8, 2024 "The Damon Runyon Theatre", a syndicated radio series from 1949 relating stories of New York's "guys and dolls" -- mobsters and dames, gamblers and frails, saints and sinners -- which newspaperman and sportswriter Damon Runyon colorfully brought to life in decades of short stories. They may have been gangsters, but they often had hearts of gold underneath - plus a unique present-tense way of speaking which has come to be known as "Runyonesque." The Damon Runyon Theatre recorded 52 charming half-hour versions of his stories, and those got writer Casey Keller (Beakman's World, The Love Boat) wanting more. So he's written a new episode, and Project Audion brings you the world premiere of his Runyonesque tale, "Ringside Rosie." Our transcontinental cast is captured live in performance, just like they did in 1949, for a delightful story about a doll who loved boxing, and the guy who loved her. Our cast includes: Duane Noch in New Jersey Don Paul in California Andy Hartson-Bowyer in Virginia Jacob Palka in Illinois Stanley Dyrector in California Paul Arbisi in Illinois Reg Platt in Texas Susan Platt in Texas Casey Keller in California with the production under the supervision of Larry Groebe in Texas
