🎙️ Shortwave Kitsch is BACK at Piccolo Spoleto! 🎶
We’re thrilled to return for our second year in a row to the Piccolo Spoleto Festival with TWO brand-new shows—and twice the vintage fun! Join us Saturday, May 31st at 2:30 PM and 7:30 PM at the Cannon Street Arts Center (home of Pure Theatre) for a full day of golden-age glam, live music, sound effects, and stories that’ll make you feel like you’re tuning in on a 1940s radio dial.
✨ Pro tip: Don’t choose just one—see BOTH shows! Double the drama, double the laughs, and double the kitsch.
🎭 What is Shortwave Kitsch?
We’re Charleston’s one and only 1940s-style radio drama-inspired theater company. Every episode we write is brand new—but made with that nostalgic magic of yesteryear. Think: live sound effects, toe-tapping tunes, and unforgettable characters, all brought to life by a dazzling cast of local talent.
🎟️ Show 2 – 7:30 PM BY HOOK OR BY CROOK
Featuring:
✉️ To Whom It May Concern…
In the British tradition of the Agony Aunt letters (That’s like a Dear Abby Letter to you, Yanks!), Adriana Agony is ready and willing to provide you with the most endearing and important life advice. But when she steps away from the mic or the typewriter, she’s ready to solve the problem personally no matter what the death-defying stakes.
🩺 Call the Lady Physician
A high-flying adventure with Cliff Ryder, a misogynistic aeronaut, who carries the former debutant turned diligent doctor, Elise Banks, around the world to where the people are in need and danger awaits.
So what are you waiting for? Mark your calendars, grab your tickets, and prepare for an unforgettable day of vintage theater with a twist. 🌟
