Radio/TV Classics LIVE! Main | Massasoit Theater Co. | LIVE! at Massasoit! | Tickets Herb Ellis What is Radio / TV Classics LIVE! Created in 1990 by Prof. Robert Bowers, Radio Classics Live is now in its 16th year, and it has raised and distributed more than $35,000 in scholarships to Massasoit graduates going on to a four-year college. Equally as important, Radio Classics Live has provided Massasoit students the rare opportunity to meet and learn from radio/TV professionals - actors, writers, directors, sound effects people - from the golden age of radio who were on the cutting edge of what was then the nation's primary communication and entertainment medium. The program also was designed to help us to reach out to the senior citizen community and provide them with two evenings of entertainment and nostalgia. The 19th Annual Radio / TV Classics Live! May 3rd & 4th, 2008 Ticket Information For show information or tickets, drop by the Buckley Center Ticket Office (FA 323) in the Fine Arts building between the hours of 8:00am - 4:00pm or call 508-427-1234. The Radio Classics Live program is held at The Buckley Performing Arts Center, a first-class theater facility that is part of the Massasoit campus. Radio Classics is a production of the Massasoit Radio Players, a group of Massasoit faculty, staff and administrators who perform radio programs from radio’s golden years in effort to preserve an important part of America’s rich cultural history.No one involved with RCL is paid. All staff and performers work pro-bono -- performers receive travel and living expenses. Every dollar we raise above the actual expenses of the program goes into the scholarship fund administered by The Massasoit Foundation, a nonprofit charitable foundation of Massasoit Community College. Since the beginning, we have been fortunate to have many former and contemporary radio/TV performers participate, including: Arthur Anderson, Will Hutchins, Peg Lynch, Rosemary Rice, Alan Young, Willard Waterman, Herb Ellis, Ezra Stone, Parley Baer, Arnold Stang, Barney Beck, Donald Buka, Shirley Mitchell, William Schallert, Bob Dryden, Bob Hastings, Don Hastings, Tom Bergeron, and Mark Goddard. Additionally, current on-air radio/TV personalities also donate their time, including Barry Nolan and Robin Young, Boston's original Evening Magazine team, NPR's Carl Kasell, WGBH's Ron Della Chiesa, WBZ's Gil Santos and Jordan Rich, Charles Laquidara of WZLX, Ben Parker and Rod Fritz of WRKO, Michele Hughes, WODS.
