WELCOME HOLMES TO RTR launches Readers Theatre Repertory’s 13th Season opener on September 20th, with three radio plays performed in classic style. Mary McDonald-Lewis directs The Musgrave Ritual, The Case of the Dead Adventuress, and The Problem of Thor Bridge. “I got my start as a voice actor performing live radio drama at KFBK in Sacramento,” McDonald-Lewis says. “It’s truly theater of the mind. Nowhere is that more evident than in these Conan Doyle mysteries.”

The production will feature some of the area’s best voice actors, and sound effects will also star in the show. “The voices and sounds transported radio listeners in the 30s and 40s,” says McDonald-Lewis “and autumn in Portland is a perfect time to gather around a small stage in much the same way, to hear these great tales.”

The cast includes Greg Alexander, Shaye Eller, David Knell, Doug Mitchell, Gary Powell, Tom Slater, and Patrick Tango.
