Kansas City Actors Radio Theatre
Kansas City Actors Radio Theatre presents new performances of classic radio plays of intrigue, mystery, suspense, and comedy from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s in rotation with a 10-part original historical drama written by local playwright, actor, and director Forrest Attaway. Featuring local actors and musicians and hosted by actors John Rensenhouse, Cinnamon Schultz, and Walter Coppage.
In the opening episode of Forrest Attaway’s “Kansas City: 1924,” “The Ties That Bind,” the new and old ways go head-to-head when the Esposito mob tangles with Ma Pritchett’s cattle outfit. Meanwhile, a well-connected and mysterious stranger arrives in town, meeting a jazz singer with conflicting interests. An unmistakable message is sent to the mafia on their home turf as this cold war threatens to heat up.
