Keen Company Artistic Director Jonathan Silverstein today announced the World Premiere of a newly commissioned audio play Radio Nowhere by playwright Kate Cortesi, beginning Friday April 23rd at 7pm EST for FREE on your favorite podcasting apps like Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, TuneIn, and more: search "Keen Company Hear/Now" wherever you listen!

Directed by Taylor Reynolds, Radio Nowhere will feature Alfredo Narciso, George Salazar, and Amelia Workman. Radio Nowhere will have sound design and original music by Fred Kennedy. The audio play will be stage managed by Avery Trunko and audio engineered by Garret Schultz.

"It's my honor to announce the next release in our Hear/Now Season of Audio Theater: Radio Nowhere by Kate Coresi. Kate has been a valued member of the Keen community since she wrote Citizens United for our Keen Teens program in 2019, a timely, educational and hilarious take on the landmark Supreme Court case. When we commissioned Kate we knew she would bring her signature wit to this year's season and she has delivered with a thought provoking and entertaining feast for your ears. It's been an utter joy working again with Taylor Reynolds to bring Kate's play to life, as well as her stellar team of actors (including Keen alum George Salazar) and Sound Designer Fred Kennedy. Strap on your headphones and get ready for another engrossing and surprising tale!" said Silverstein.

Radio Nowhere is an irreverent comedy about a young artist's attempt to save his strange little radio show by selling off an even stranger set of valuables. Tune in and join DJ Anonymous as his scrappy telethon turns into an exploration of grief, art, popularity, and the myth of the white male genius.

Radio Nowhere is part of Keen Company's innovative 21st Season. Hear/Now: A Season of Audio Theater is reimagining the classic radio drama with a season of five world premiere audio plays from a multifaceted group of Off-Broadway playwrights. Hear/Now debuted 1993 by finkle in the fall and continues through June 2021, featuring the world premiere of new audio plays by Pearl Cleage, James Anthony Tyler, and musical team Melissa Li and Kit Yan. Patrons can expect a season of unique pieces of audio theater - each will be intimate, engrossing, fully-produced shows that will feel just as satisfying as a great night at the theater!
