Short Story Theater Coming to Cape Playhouse where Bogie and Bette performed?

 

News from Bill Russo's Short Story Theater

"The Book of Gord" was our most popular episode last week (week ending 11-07-2020) on Short Story Theater, followed closely by "From the Halls of Carrabba's Italian Grill", and then by our all time most listened to episode, "The Cold Touch of Death".

We wish to thank our 2500 regular listeners. Season two is about half-way over, there's lots more to come. If you like our work, please do so on social media. Likes and shares will help us get a higher ranking on podcast listings, allowing us to reach more listeners.

Here's a message from our author and publisher, Bill Russo, who celebrated his 77th birthday on November 7. The number seven crops up again in Bill's birth year it was 1943 - 4 plus 3 = 7.




"Hello folks. Our goal this second season is to get to 5000 listeners. Our podcasts are experimental audio plays using actual people as well as computer voices. My budget is very limited and I bear all of the expenses myself. I hope in future we will get big enough so that we can have full cast productions with live actors and actresses."

"One day, when the virus finally goes away, I hope we can go from a virtual theater, to staging an actual broadcast in the great and historic Cape Playhouse in Dennis on Cape Cod, where stars such as Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Shirley Booth and Robert Montgomery made appearances early in their career."

Our listeners will be invited to play the roles in our live performances! Stay tuned, and please like and share our stories, most of which I have written especially for Short Story Theater."

Here's our newest play, which had the most unusual ending ever! Bill said .....

"When I was tapping away at my laptop, reaching the end of the story "Jilted", where a Yellow-Hammer Woodpecker is tapping away at a tree, I heard a loud tapping at my window - it was a Yellow-Hammer wood pecker who would not go away!'

Here are a few of the photos Bill took of the Yellow-Hammer with a two foot wingspan, which was tapping on the window of his writing room on Cape Cod, three stories up from the ground.
