If you like your detectives hard-boiled, your dames sultry and your mysteries noir — and if you’ve ever had the pleasure of watching live radio theater, in which talented actors and a sound effects wizard create whole worlds via microphones and ingenuity — then get a move on to Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer: Encore for Murder. A classic American gumshoe yarn by award-winning playwright Max Allan Collins, Encore stars Gary Sandy (WKRP in Cincinnati) as Hammer and an all-star cast of locals including Mary Rachel Dudley, Bob Heitman, Jim Wicker and Stephanie Roberts, with sound by Matt Cowley, the guru who makes all the noise for the Radio Theatre Project at Studio@620.
