| Title | QP goes to college |
| Message Text | The College of Charleston's Communications Museum at 58 George Street in Charleston, South Carolina is presenting QP later this month: RICKLEY'S BELIEVE-IT-OR-NOT RADIO SHOW Hosted by Rick Zender Wednesday Evening Old Time Radio Series March 23 QUIET, PLEASE (1947-1949) Time/Location: 7:00 p.m., Communications Museum, 58 George Street Considered by many to be the most creative series in the history of radio, Quiet Please was written and directed by Wyllis Cooper, the original creator of Lights Out. Ernest Chappell, the series' featured actor, set the dark and mysterious mood through a dramatic stream-of-consciousness narrative, as he took the listener into a world convincingly like our own ... but not quite real. Shhhhh ... Better slip in silently so Rickley can treat you to audio presentations of "The Man Who Knew Everything," "Calling All Souls," and "Meet John Smith, John." About the Presenter Rick Zender is Curator of the John Rivers Communications Museum, where he has worked since 1997. He is an avid and well-informed collector of Old Time Radio Shows, as well as an aficionado of classic horror films. Rick is also a local guitarist with the band Deadontime. Catch his performance some week-end at a local darkness-filled nightspot.
