The teacher of radio in high school and college often finds the problem of obtaining usable scripts a bit formidable. The average beginning student of radio does not have the emotional and intellectual experience to act in and produce plays by such men as Corwin and Oboler, nor does the average workshop provide the elaborate facilities necessary to handle adequately such productions. The materials included in this collection vary in difficulty. In the main they have been arranged in order of increasing difficulty. Such broadcasts as "The Symphony of Sorrows" and "A Few More Feathers" require relatively easy characterizations, sound effects, and general production activity. Later scripts such as "Though You Speak with the Tongues of Angels" increase in difficulty, in the amount and kind of microphone technique involved, and in the elaborateness of music and sound required for effective production. Some scripts are included because they are trick shows requiring the ultimate in vocal control, characterization, and variation of position on the microphone. A preponderance of drama material has been included. The reason is that the radio play has a slightly more permanent nature than newscasts, commercials, and other types of continuity. These can be obtained from local stations. Use such commercial materials to supplement those made available in this collection. - Preface.
