Old time radio began as part of Jessamine County Creative Arts League in 2014.

Now, on its 10th year, the troupe has outlive the league and inherited a space of its own to bring radio shows from the 1940s and fifties back into the spotlight.

So don't touch that dial.

We're tuning in to this week's Arts and Culture, a segment we call Tapestry.

JCL is on the.

Scale is a step back in time.

We try to recreate old time radio shows that would look like if you were in a in a studio.

It's a rather a hybrid of old time radio and that we add a little theatrics.

We add some lighting and things like that to make our audience have a better experience than just, you know, sitting here watching us read and, you know, ho hum, you know.

Holy cow, this is wholesome entertainment.

You could bring your four year old grandchild to our show and not be embarrassed by it.

You can enjoy have a good time.

We have people here.

Our oldest person, as far as I know, is around 90.

And of course, some of the people that are up in their seventies, eighties and nineties used to listen to some of these old time radio shows as a child.

So it brings back a lot of good memories.

But on the other hand, some of these younger people are seeing things the way it used to be, and we reproduce things as much as we can.

You know, we read the scripts like they would have.

We do sound effects like they would have and try to make it as much as we can, like they used to do new signal gasoline and now back to the whistling.

Yes, jealousy is a strange thing, Pamela.

It's been there deep inside for as long as you can remember.

We have some people ask me and this is amazes me that every show they come to, they'll leave saying, oh, this is the best when you've ever done.

So it's kind of good that we're lucky we're getting better.

You know, every time and every time in their eyes and away from your.

Family, you need when she comes.

In, we have no compensation for any of our members.

We just do it because we enjoy it.

But we want to give back and we feel like if people are that good to us, we ought to try to do our best to help others.

You would be so surprised how many homeless children there are in our county.

People that I mean, that are on their own.

Children that are on their own.

And the numbers, when we heard them, we were just astounded at the number of children that needed help.

So we got a hold of the school and have almost taken them on as like our MA project almost.

So I gathered a bunch of people in our community who sing gospel music.

We go to a local church, we have free admission, and one night we put on about a three hour show.

We pass the plate.

And all that money.

All that money goes straight to the kids.

We've raised a little over $21,000 in those four shows just passing the plate.

So that's why we became a nonprofit.

It was to be able to help them.

All of us really love our community and we really enjoy.

Yes, we can.

We love the people here.

We love the county, and we just enjoy meeting and talking to people, meeting new people or talking to old friends.

And so anything that we can do to help our community, we're very interested and very willing to participate.

Thank you again, little guy who's.

A great guy.

If someone were to ask me, How long will we continue until the ticket stops selling?

You know, I won't miss a show.

There's a CBS, the Columbia.

Broadcasting System.

Now, That's good stuff, Carl.

Old Time Radio's next show will run from July the 12th through the 14th.
