I am, like most of us now, a product of the television era, but I have heard many of the radio plays produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). I am very fond of radio plays. They have a rich quality of story-telling that I imagine is very like our ancestors enjoyed, when families gathered around an elder and listened to his or her descriptions of real or imagined events.
So I had an idea some time ago when my kids were young, about 3 and 6 years old. I thought we could make a radio play. All we needed was a tape recorder, a story, and some imaginative sound effects. The tape recorder was available. The kids had lots of story books; it was just a matter of choosing one appropriate for their ages. We decided on Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We all participated as talent, technicians, and producers. I acted as director because I was the only one who had ever heard a radio play. I also narrated the story because I was the only one who could read well enough.
