The Drama Hour is a radio drama show on KZSC, Santa Cruz, 88.1 FM, Sundays from 6:30pm-7:30pm. We provide original audio drama for the Santa Cruz and part of the Monterey Bay over the radio, and reach wordwide via the web. We also provide a weekly theater calendar highlighting theatrical events for the community, such as times and dates for shows, auditions, and interviews with notable personalities. Oh- and we are really funny. You should probably listen.
The Drama Hour can now call it’s self both the first and second best student radio drama group in the nation! We recently took home the top two awards at the BEA National Audio Theatre Festival’s Audio Drama/Comedy category! First place went to Immovable Feast, by Davis Banta & second place went to I Hate Halloween by Madeline Bills!
You can find them both under “Original Works” in our Archive tab!

Interview with Miguel Reyna, Director of MCT’s New Show “House Yes” by Wendy Mcleod
Drama Hour member Davis Banta did a reading of “Immovable Feast” at the Mill Works Theatre tonight. The Mill Works Theatre is periodic event, often every two weeks or so, that features creative artists reading original and non original work that they’ve been practicing and want to work out in a creative atmosphere. Attendance is walk-in, and admission is whatever you feel you can donate.
In case you don’t remember, here’s the Drama Hour’s production of “Immovable Feast”. Enjoy.

Well, the Drama Hour went out of ‘09 with a bang, in a special two hour show that features the most original material in a single show we’ve had in quite awhile, along with a classic Richard Diamond episode, and a cut from Firesign Theatre!
The original material included a BS news piece regarding Santa’s life cycle, the first installment in an intended serial entitled “505: Paranoid Detective” by Madeline Bills, “The Infinity Defense” by Madeline Bills, and “The Tell-Tale ‘Ho-Ho-Ho’” by Davis Banta.
We also replayed a live piece we performed a year ago with a New Year’s theme, entitled “The Jest of Hahalaba” by Lord Dunsany.
And with that- we bid you a good 2009 and have a great New Years!!
