    An Unexpected Twist

    I’m a MarkheimA sort of angel.  But not the sort with wings and a harp and a halo.

    Markheims are the black ops.  We do things other angels can’t… or won’t.  Upstairs pulled me outta retirement for a mission down in this soggy town.  But when it was done I didn’t go back. I had questions.  And the answers weren’t up above. 

    Now I’m walking neutral, half-fallen, in what we angels call the Show.  But I gotta watch my back.  ‘Cuz things can always get uglier.

    Make your reservations here.

    Can you believe Sandbox Radio Live! has been broadcasting for a year now?

This latest episode, An Unexpected Twist will include new short plays by Scot Augustson, Emily Conbere, and Elizabeth Heffron, plus Episode 5 of Paul Mullin‘s noir-angel serial Markheim, plus an original poem by Reggie Jackson, and special musical guests John Engerman and Heather Curtis Mullin.

    Members of the Sandbox Artist Collective currently scheduled to appear include: Megan Sandbox BarAhiers, Eric Ray Anderson, Gin Hammond, Tracy Hyland,  Kelly Kitchens, Charles Leggett, Peter O’Connor, Larry Paulsen, Annette Toutonghi, Kathryn Van Meter, Cynthia Whalen and guest Jim Gall.

    Original music will be provided by Jose Gonzales and The Sandbox Radio Orchestra: Charles Leggett, Dave Pascal, Dan Tierney and Rob Witmer.

    You won’t want to miss this, and you won’t want to wait until the podcast gets posted.

  • A Show You Don’t Have to Come See

    A Show You Don’t Have to Come See

    How often do you get a plug for a show in which the plugger says he doesn’t really care if you come see it?  Well, that’s exactly what I’m telling about this second edition of Sandbox Radio Live: The Halloween Episode.

    Well, all right, hold on a second.  Fact is, I really would like to see you there in the audience, but our seating at West of Lenin is extremely limited and we will sell out.  So no matter what happens, some of you who show up without reservations will be frozen out, S.O.L, on the sidewalk outside, while the happy few who booked at Brown Paper Tickets early enough watch it live.  (Book ahead here.)  But do NOT despair.  It’s Sandbox Radio remember?  And the whole point of us doing it is to make a permanent recording.  Our first episode is available for you to listen to right now, for free! at iTunes.  (Listen here.)

    The podcast of Episode One, at 90 minutes, is admittedly quite sizable.  In future, perhaps The Sandbox might look at ways to create a table of contents with time-stamps so you can go to the sections of the show that most interest you.  In the mean time, download it so that you have something to play the next time you’re stuck in traffic.  You won’t regret it.  (And after you have a listen, please consider posting a review of the show.  It’s the best way for you to let us know what you do and don’t like, and it also raises Sandbox Radio’s profile on iTunes.)

    And look for the podcast of Sandbox Radio Live: The Halloween Episode coming out shortly after the live performance on October 10!
