In the story, “They Killed Him Dead,” Careful Cassidy, a no-nonsense homicide squad detective, tries to solve a most peculiar murder, while at the same time trying to save his reputation without becoming the laughing stock of the police department. The cast incorporated sound effects, props and costumes as the guests became a very “live studio audience.”

“Everyone really got a kick out of this story, laughing along with the performers and listening intently to clues during the performance hoping to solve the mystery. No one figured out who the real culprit was until the very end!” said Joanie Sigal, East Coast Golden Age Theatre producer, and singer.

“I enjoyed the presentation as it reminded me how I used to listen to similar shows on the radio as a kid. What a wonderful presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed it,” said one of the guests, a visitor from Ireland.

The L. Ron Hubbard East Coast Theater, a volunteer group founded in 2011, delivers classic radio theatre performances of fiction short stories written by Hubbard in the 1930s and ‘40s.

“Back in the ‘30s and ‘40s before live streaming and television, radio was king. Mr. Hubbard’s fiction stories lend themselves beautifully to radio style plays,” stated Sigal. “Mr. Hubbard’s stories cover a wide range of genres—action, romance, mystery, adventure, science fiction, western and more. Through our performances at local schools, we promote reading and imagination.”

To date, they have performed to thousands, mostly in Florida.
