Radio Rescue

Radio Rescue takes place in the 1940s — when people traveled mostly by trains, and amateur (“ham”) radio operators communicated across the globe using their ham radios to exchange messages and emergency communications. In this suspense drama, Sparky and Jill, two orphans living in the Millford Orphans’ Home, secretly build their own radio. One night, they receive an emergency call that the train tracks have been washed out. And it’s up to them to get word to the train!
Charlotte B. Chorpenning’s realistic youth play was first produced by the Goodman Theatre in Chicago.
Radio Rescue played in the Puppet Theatre of the Palisades Building in Balboa Park and featured junior and senior high school students from Junior Theatre’s summer session classes.
A Junior Theatre Premiere! Recommended for all ages.
