Listen to the Latest Production by Three Chicks and a Stage

Three Chicks and a Stage Stream (as they're calling themselves during the pandemic), may be unable to perform on a stage at the present time, but they've been hard at work on their latest project, "A Logic Named Joe."

Producer Charlie Niehaus provided more on the presentation:

With Covid-19 pandemic restrictions, local actors, singers, and entertainers can not provide entertainment to the local population like we had been doing. Instead of the audience coming to the show - the show has to come to the audience for now and as always - the show must go on. Three Chicks & A Stage decided to use the tools of today to bring back some of the entertainment forms of yesterday and bring the show to our audience.

Our first offering is a radio show comedy entitled “A Logic Named Joe”. It was written by Murray Leinster in 1946. It started as a short story that appeared in a number of magazines in the late 1940s and then in the 1950’s it was adapted into a radio play and appeared on the “Dimension X” and “X Minus One”.  During that time period the show was a futuristic science fiction work that looked at what life would be like 30 years in the future.  Today it is a great example of a retro-future sci-fi giving us a glimpse of what the world thought the future would look. Keep in mind this comedy was written almost 75 years ago.  Murray was pretty close to the mark on a number of things, just not in 30 years, but more like 70 years.  This production was recorded on May 15th, 2020 with actors on a video call joining from Effingham, Brownstown, Teutopolis, a dorm room in Bloomington, and even from a car in a traffic jam near St. Louis!  We hope you enjoy the 3 Chicks and a Stream production of “A Logic Named Joe”
