A Chris-Mystery 2: The Case of the Missing Missus
Indiana Public Radio Theatre proudly presents an authentic radio drama on Thursday, Dec. 12, 2024, live on-air and before an audience in Sursa Performance Hall on the Ball State campus.
A CHRIS MYSTERY 2: THE CASE OF THE MISSING MISSUS
Detective Phil Barlow and his intrepid canine companion Bogie are back with another Yuletide adventure! When Mrs. Klaus disappears under suspicious circumstances, Phil and Bogie team up with Reindeer Force, Squadron B to scour the city and find her before the evil Krampus ruins Christmas for everyone. Join us for some high-flying mystery-solving fun with Zipper, Flipper, Schnitzel and the rest of Squadron B as they learn that even the oldest legends can have surprising twists, and it’s the unexpected deliveries that truly make the holidays magical.
IPR Radio Dramas feature community and campus actors, musicians and singers who through their live performance, transport listeners back to a different time, evoking memories of shared experiences, and reminding people of a bygone era when imagination played a more significant role in entertainment. Live music and sound effects help recreate an authentic radio drama reminiscent of the Golden Age of Radio.
Audience members play a crucial role in the radio drama experience by actively engaging with the narrative and reacting to the emotions presented through audio.
Attendees should be seated by 7:30 p.m. and will be treated to a pre-show program including a sound effects demonstration.
Tune in at 8pm for the live broadcast on IPR (92.1 FM, 90.9 FM and 91.1 FM) and streamed online.
