CHILLING BROADCAST
Nosferatu enrolls at Old Eli on Halloween Night, when the Shubert Radio Theater will broadcast
its original script, "Dracula at Yale" over WSHU Radio (91.1 FM) at 9 P.M. The show will be taped
in a public performance this Friday at 7:30 P.M. in Thornton Wilder Hall, 2901 Dixwell Avenue,
Hamden. Admission will be $5 at the door, $4 for elderly vampire mavens.
The year-old nonprofit company is dedicated to bringing back the old radio days, replete with
sound effects provided by Barney Beck, veteran sound man of "The Shadow" and "Superman"
radio shows. Monthly broadcasts over the Bridgeport station will resume in November with "The
Aldrich Family" revisited. Listeners from New London to Greenwich, Long Island to upper
Middlesex County will be able to pick up the broadcasts, said the company spokesman, Cindy
Avery.
Bert Garskoff and Ellen Lieberman are the artistic directors and the authors of the Dracula script;
Dino Ciaburri, conductor of the West Haven Symphony Orchestra, composed the music.
The use of the Shubert name was approved by the Shubert Theater in New Haven, some of whose
board members are also on the Radio Theater board, and officials at Yale have consented to the
identification of various locations on campus as the settings for nefarious deeds.
