Like its predecessor Dragnet, Tales of the Texas Rangers adapted actual police case files for its broadcasts. Leading each week's investigation of an actual Texas Ranger case was the same Texas Ranger, Jayce Pearson, portrayed by movie star Joel McCrea. Because the stories were set in present day, Pearson used the latest scientific techniques to identify criminals. Unlike Joe Friday, Pearson didn't have a regular partner, typically working with the local sheriff instead (who was usually portrayed by Parley Baer). Working environments would range from big cities to isolated wilderness areas that could only be reached on horseback. Produced and Directed by Stacy Keach, Sr. Tales of the Texas Rangers ran from 1950 to 1952 and featured radio's top supporting actors. Its popularity spawned a 1955 Saturday morning television series starring Willard Parker and Harry Lauter broadcast on CBS until 1958.

Gerard McSorley stars as Petruchio, with Ruth Mitchell as Katherina in Shakespeare's sharply witty comedy. BBC Radio has a unique heritage when it comes to Shakespeare. Since 1923, when the newly formed company broadcast its first full-length play, generations of actors and producers have honed and perfected the craft of making Shakespeare to be heard. In the acclaimed BBC Radio Shakespeare series, each play is introduced by Richard Eyre, former Director of the Royal National Theatre. Revitalised, original and comprehensive, this is Shakespeare for the new millennium.
When Jon attends the premier of his movie in the Lansing Film Festival, he faces the most important weekend of his young life-but not in ways he expected. His old pal, Vince, has been stewing for a decade and their high school friend, Amy, is now the assistant district attorney in Lansing. Edgy humor gives way to fiery confrontation that examines memory and perception.

Orgon, a wealthy man, becomes consumed by the piety of Tartuffe, a seemingly devout conman. Blinded by his religious fervor, Orgon ignores his family's warnings and showers Tartuffe with wealth and favors, even offering him his daughter's hand in marriage. Meanwhile, the rest of the household sees through Tartuffe's façade, recognizing him as a manipulative hypocrite out for personal gain. Elmire, Orgon's wife, hatches a clever plan to expose Tartuffe's true nature, allowing Orgon to finally see the truth and reclaim control of his life and family. Through sharp wit and cunning, the family foils Tartuffe's schemes, demonstrating the dangers of blind faith and the triumph of reason over deception.
Le Tartuffe ou l'Imposteur est une comédie de Molière en cinq actes et en vers créée le 5 février 1669 sur la scène du Théâtre du Palais-Royal. Orgon est l'archétype du personnage de cour tombé sous la coupe de Tartuffe, un hypocrite et un faux dévot. Il est, ainsi que sa mère, Madame Pernelle, dupe de Tartuffe. Ce dernier réussit à le manipuler en singeant la dévotion et il est même parvenu à devenir son directeur de conscience. Il se voit proposer d'épouser la fille de son bienfaiteur, alors même qu'il tente de séduire Elmire, la femme d'Orgon, plus jeune que son mari. Démasqué grâce à un piège tendu par cette dernière afin de convaincre son mari de l'hypocrisie de Tartuffe, Tartuffe veut ensuite chasser Orgon de chez lui grâce à une donation inconsidérée que celui-ci lui a faite de ses biens. En se servant de papiers compromettants qu'Orgon lui a remis, il va le dénoncer au Roi. Erreur fatale : le Roi a conservé son affection à celui qui l'avait jadis bien servi lors de la Fronde. Il lui pardonne et c'est Tartuffe qui est arrêté. "Mais où sont les neiges d'antan... Cueillez dès aujourd'hui les roses de la vie... Madame se meurt, madame est morte... Il neigeait, il neigeait toujours...". Les pages qu'il faut connaître, parce qu'elles font partie intégrante du patrimoine de la France, que les jeunes par conséquent ont à apprendre - et y a-t-il procédé plus séduisant et plus efficace que d'entendre ces pages enregistrées dans la plus pieuse fidélité au génie créateur ? Les pages qu'il faut connaître.. et qu'en fait tant de Français et d'étrangers connaissent et savent par coeur ! Y aura-t-il pour ceux-ci émotion plus profonde que de réentendre ces textes essentiels, confiés à la voix de nos plus célèbres interprètes ?

The M?ori language version of the story evolved from a theatrical puppet show by TORO PIKOPIKO PUPPETS, that premiered at TE ANA M?ORI ROCK-ART CENTRE in 2017 called TE REREKA - THE FLIGHT. This rock-art puppet musical was adapted as an on-line interactive e-Audiobook for the Ministry of Education in 2018, and has now been formatted as a 70 minute, 6-chapter audiobook i te reo K?i Tahu, my tribal dialect. The story is about Pourakahua, who is transformed into a spirit bird that flies to Aotearoa, New Zealand in search of her own kind. In my interpretation, she flies up the ?pihi river, meeting a host of colourful creatures living in caves and limestone rock shelters, pursued by a bevy of bird-hunters. TE REREKA WAIRUA O POURAKAHUA is informed and inspired by the ancient rock-art from the South Canterbury region.

The independent, intelligent, feisty Hepburn comes alive when Mulgrew slips deftly into the voice and being of the famous actress. The two-act play opens in 1938 when the actress is 31 years old and in the middle of a career slump. She is awaiting a call to see if she has won the part of Scarlet in a film called Gone With the Wind. The story moved to 1983 when Parkinson's disease has left her voice shaking, her hand clutching a cane, but her eyes still shining with intelligence and wit. Tea at Five is an unforgettable trip down Broadway, Hollywood Boulevard, and memory lane.
