RADIO XIX–WFCP Home Time Radio Hour
Music! Comedy! Mystery! Fun!
The show was live, onstage, set in a “radio studio” in the mid-20th century. Music, with live band, sketch comedy, wacky product ads and jingles, hilarious sound effects.
It’s the 19th year of a unique performance, where the “live studio audience” attends an old-time “radio” show set in the 1920s-1970s. Original sketches, from Joe Tanner, PI to Tales from the Tomb, to Rocket Space Quest, and more, this year, all the way back to the Roaring Twenties. Great songs of the era, including Come Fly With Me, I Can See Clearly Now, All of Me, The Best Things in Life are Free, and many more, with a live band onstage. Wacky products like Gas Station Coffee from ACME. And hilarious Sound Effects folks! But it’s only on stage, and not really on the radio. Season sponsor is Kennebec Savings Bank. 
Directed by Alicia Belmore (sketches) and Mitch Thomas (music).
Cast: Ella Ackerman, Shirley Bernier, Catherine Carty-Wilbur, Phil Chin, Nadine Clark, Cathryn Cunningham, Dave Hansen, Paul Kane, Alyssa Lazaro, Mary-At Lessard, Nate Levesque, Judy Lloyd, Jillian Lovejoy, Andy Mass, Korinne Mehta, James Melita, Peter Nicoll, Joe Quinn, Henry Quintal, Betsy Roper, Dorothy Shull, Jessica Tracy, Marguerite Walker, David Wallace, Rob West, Sparrow Wilbur.

Drinking Habits: This show was terrific, and we appreciate your support and attendance in August!
by Tom Smith
Hilarious, laugh-out-loud farce, with accusations, mistaken identities, and romances running wild. Two nuns at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent’s doors open, but Paul and Sally, reporters and formerly engaged, are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. Wine and secrets are inevitably spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent and reconnect with lost loves.

Prescott Knight, owner of the Hot Knights Genuine Pepper Sauce empire, discovers on the morning of the annual Knight Family Barbecue that someone is trying to kill him. A family meeting is hastily arranged, and Prescott announces he is changing his will so that the recipe for Hot Knights will pass into the right hands. Hours later, family members find Prescott dead and the recipe stolen. Prescott’s family, his lawyer, the housekeeper, and the gardener are all suspects.
