In Radio, Everyone Creates Their Own Image

More than any other medium, radio relies on the listener to imagine scenes and characters. This makes radio one of the most intimate of storytelling devices and mimics a sense of our ancestors sitting around the fire and swapping tales. The Shire's Audio Drama Team, a group seventeen students from all over the St. Croix Valley, played on this concept of "Theater of the Mind" by drawing their own renditions of the characters. Here's a sampling of their creations.

The last 24 hours have been really tough...

A voice in fifteen-year-old Andromeda's head just won't shut up, and it becomes stronger after she discovers her grandmother is missing. An ornery cat, an annoying canary, well meaning but clueless adults, friends who want to help and a peer who would rather be grumpy than useful create a headache inducing day for a girl who just wants to find her grandma.


Join us for the live recording of the radio play "Don't Cry Over Cold Tea" on Thursday, July 28th at 7 PM at the Water Street Inn in Stillwater. Complimentary dessert and lemonade provided. Doors open at 6:30 PM.


The recorded production will air on the radio program Voices in the Valley on KLBB 1220 on Saturday, August 6th at 10 AM. After broadcast, the episode will be made into a podcast and become a part of the podcast series HUSH.


"Don't Cry Over Cold Tea" is written, produced and performed by secondary students on The Shire's Audio Drama Team who come from all over the St. Croix Valley on both sides of the river.
