This is a presentation of the Fine Arts Department (Theatre and Visual Arts) of Mills University Studies High School. Our talented students recreate 4 radio episodes from the glory days of radio programs, before the age of television.
This is a free presentation for all! Instead of charging for virtual passes, we want to keep this presentation up for you to see and hear often. We instead ask that you donate to our DonorsChoose fundraiser.

We have a multi-million dollar theatre facility at our school, but no industrial tools to make the sets we need for shows worthy of our students' full potential. We have raised over 50% so far, but if we do not meet our goal by January 27th, we lose every dollar donated so far.
When our goal is met, and conditions are safe for us to return to the stage, we promise to do so in high fashion.
