Radio Play Festival
Feb. 6, 2021
Bitch Sessions
Priya and Krissie are co-hosts of a popular campus radio talk show called ‘The Bitch Sessions’. What starts out to be just another night ranting about politics and men, ends up being a night they won’t forget.
Hideous Hideous
When an African-Canadian woman falls for a white pianist with Tourette's, nagging questions surface. Does his disorder mask a hidden racism? A tale of interwoven music and misunderstanding.
The Radio Play Disaster
Self-proclaimed genius Harlan Bean is ready to make history with his science-fiction radio masterpiece Battle of the Planets. But when the broadcast is in the hands of an ambitious actress with her own vision for her character, several terrified last-minute replacements jumping in, and a disgruntled sound engineer out for revenge, the mayhem in the studio makes an alien invasion look like a piece of cake.
