With four actors sitting on stools in front of microphones playing 17 characters, local musician David Evanoff playing original live music and a table full of props and produce, "Radio Hour: Frankenstein" has all the makings — and sounds — of good ol' old-fashioned radio.

Rapier noted, "You can sit there and watch how it all works, or you can sit there with your eyes closed and you should have an equally enjoyable experience either way."
