SVHS Drama Dept. puts on a (radio) show

Elena Paraponiaris knows, like all fans of suspense know, that she should not pick up that phone. But hey, it’s in the script. And off we go with Dial M for Murder, a film noir classic (Grace Kelly, Ray Milland*) that began as a wildly popular radio play.

Mario Alioto rehearses for Sunday’s show

Now, in a stroke of Covid-coping genius, Jane Martin’s drama students at Sonoma Valley High School will present the radio script in a streaming broadcast on Sunday, April 18, at 2 p.m. “Every aspect of this production is new, so this has been an exciting learning adventure” for her, Assistant Director, Shayna Weiner (an AP Chemistry teacher) and of course the students. Watching radio on a small screen. Now that’s progress.
