Two new full-cast recordings from The Online Stage

Two new recordings are on sale on Audible from The Online Stage.  I had parts in both productions.  The first was a role in "The Rim of the World."   It was released as part of a collection of 11 plays by Floyd Dell.  His work has remained relevant despite the passage of time.


Floyd Dell has been called "one of the most flamboyant, versatile, and influential American Men of Letters of the first third of the 20th century". Though he was primarily a newspaper and magazine editor, most prominently of the radical left-wing magazine The Masses, he also published many best-selling feminist works. As a staunch advocate of feminism, socialism, psychoanalysis, and progressive education, his writing greatly shocked the American bourgeoisie at the time, to the point where it became so controversial, he was put on trial twice for his subversive literature. 
This is a complete collection of all 11 of his short plays, which include many delights, such as a dialogue musing upon the curiosities of human nature, fights between lovers, a tragic fantasy story, and even a comedic take on a popular biblical tale. 
1 Human Nature
2 The Chaste Adventures of Joseph
3 The Angel Intrudes
4 Legend
5 Sweet-And-Twenty
6 A Long Time Ago
7 Enigma
8 Ibsen Revisited
9 King Arthur's Socks
10 The Rim of the World
11 Poor Harold

My second role was a small part as Dame 3 in a full-cast production of The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.  (I wasn't very nice to poor Hester!)

"Scorned by her 17th century New England Puritan village, Hester Prynne struggles to raise her precocious daughter, Pearl, who is the result of an affair and whose father is unknown. Despite being forced to wear a scarlet letter A as a brand for her adultery, Hester tries to live a life of repentance and dignity. Pearl's father comes forward as he is struggling under the weight of his own shame and sin.

The Scarlet Letter is often thought to be Hawthorne's most famous work."

I love narrating books as solo works but it's also very gratifying and a lot of fun to perform with other narrators as part of a full-cast!  I'm grateful that The Online Stage and Voices of Today both give me this opportunity!
