Synopsis:
Based on student suggestions solicited during these pandemic months, Hatchetfield is designed to pay tribute to two institutions which helped define the American entertainment landscape of the 1900’s: Radio Dramas and Soap Operas.
It’s Sheriff Dee’s job to protect everyone in town – from its richest citizen, Xenia DeVere, to Georgia Rose, waitress at the local pub. But lately she has had her hands full. A dangerous gambling ring is operating in town, her daughter’s boyfriend is driving her crazy, and surprise guests keep popping up for a 25th high school reunion- hers!
Listen up as the Lincoln Park Drama Majors transport you to a sleepy little town that – like so many of its inhabitants – is not always what it seems!
Tips for Enjoying a Radio Drama:
- Gather the family.
- Have snacks handy.
- Dim the lights.
- Turn off phones.

- Close your eyes as the actors’ voices transport you to Hatchetfield.
