FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Space Cadet Makes Her Return September 20
The Air Pirates Radio Theater, a unique mixture of live contemporary interactive theater and old time radio drama, will once again present live radio plays at the Lycian Centre in Sugar Loaf, NY. Having completed a successful first season by being voted the Best Theater Troupe in the Hudson Valley by the Times Herald Record Readers’ Poll; The Air Pirates Radio Theater completes its 2008 season with the third installment of Space Cadet, Take Me To Your Lender. The performance at the Pavilion of the Lycian Centre on September 20 will be broadcast on WTBQ Radio at both 1110 AM and 99.1 FM.
The Pirates are presenting the third episode of the adventures of Tica Maroo Space Cadet. Take Me To Your Lender continues the story of Captain Maroo and the illustrious crew of the Star Ship Vision Quest. In this episode they take time for a little rest and relaxation on the Space Station Covenant VII where things may not be as relaxing as they appear. The Air Pirates performance requires the audience to participate by producing the sound effects, including gunshots, footsteps and yes all the assorted space noises necessary.
One of the features of an Air Pirates show is the inclusion of live commercial during the performance. The commercials are funny and sometimes they even get applause. Like the rest of the shows the ads contain sound effects provided by the audience. Sponsors including Eclectic Tech, Style Council, Weinert T-Shirts, Croll Organizing, D & H Canvas, Meeting Tree Computer Corp, Winn Cards and Comics, 1st Advisors Mortgage and Empire Signs of the Hudson Valley have original commercials integrated into the live shows. The Air Pirates Radio Theater is made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts’ Decentralized Program administered by Arts in Orange.
The Air Pirates Radio Theater series is scheduled to perform at the Pavilion at the Lycian Centre in Sugar Loaf. On September 20 the company presents Space Cadet, Take Me to Your Lender. Tickets are $15 for each show. For information and to order tickets call 845-469-7563 or visit the web site at www.airpiratesradiotheater.com.
