Radio theatre will soon be making
its way onto the airwaves of WUSCFM
through the insight of anthropology
freshman Dwight Williams.
Presently in the process of recording
preliminary sound effects and rehearsing

Lucifer," an original script written by
Williams and a story he prefers to remain
a secret for now. German exchange
student Wolfgang Karg, graduate
students Peter Suk and Aviva
Kramer and an unidentified "pretty
elusive guy," according to Williams,
round out the supporting team.
"It's not something you would hear
on everyday radio," WUSC graduate
assistant Kendra Stewart said. "Ifs a
little twist on our programming, and
a chance to give our listeners something
new to hear besides just music."
According to Stewart, Williams

the idea, citing he had worked in radio
theatre before.
"I did something similar two years
ago at the local station WOIC-AM,"
Williams said. "I got a partial grant
from the Richland/Lexington Cultural
Council to write and produce a drama
series."
The result was 13 weeks of aired,
original scripts by Williams with a
new show every week. Williams is hoping
"The Holy Lucifer" will make its
30-minute debut in a couple of weeks.
"It's going slow because it takes a
lot of work finding sound effects and

scheduling times for rehearsal,"
Williams said. "Participation is dragging
right now, but if s still a relatively
new idea."
If all goes well, Williams said he
has a total of 15 scripts, all with the
potential of airing depending on the
amount of interest.
"If there's not much feedback, it
might just drop after five or six shows,"
Williams said. "I believe the actors
and actresses who haven't participated
yet, though, will hear the first show
and know it's first-rate and be eager
to get involved. We are competing with
the local community theatre and USCs
drama department, plus we don't have
a name or reputation yet."
The intial reaction,however, has
been one of genuine excitement.
There was a lot of enthusiasm out
of our staff and executive board when
he first presented the idea to us," Stewart
said "I think if s great. It's neat to
have other students from the theatre

get involved with radio."
For Karg as well, who is serving
as the producer, the experience is enhancing
his two-month stay at the university.
"It's a new experience for me because,
while I've studied journalism
and worked free-lance for German radio
and TV before, it was mainly news,
so this is a new challenge," Karg said.
The production will not cost the radio
station anything extra to support,
and everyone involved is doing it for
free. Williams said the hardest part
has simply been condensing a fulld

"There aren't many mediums left
that make you use your mind," Williams
said. "Radio is a totally individual thing
in that it enables the individual to ere
ate pictures in their minds. You have
to be involved. TV creates images, but
with radio, it's a team effort between
the radio and listener."
Williams maintains that all he is
looking for from his audience is some
reaction.
"I just want folks to listen to at least
two shows and want to get some reaction,
love or hate," Williams said.
