STRAND ON THE AIR

Original radio comedy, original music – and plenty of fun for the whole family. THE STRAND ON THE AIR, presented by the Strand Theatre, and hosted by House Manager Liz McLeod, features original music by Strand Education Coordinator Brittany Parker, original sketches featuring The Strand Family Players, and your ubiquitous announcer Dan Bookham. Come along as newscasters Karl Stuffel and Camomile Bourgeois keep you informed with “All Things Resicinded”, and head on down to Abysmal Point -- the town the travel writers forgot – for the adventures of crusty old clam-shack proprietor Mrs. Grunden, her ne’er-do-well husband Merton, her eye-rolling young sidekick Lilita, her unpredictable friend Gertie Crummet, and anyone else who happens to wander by. The Strand On The Air – coming to you once a month thru this summer, with a much-needed dose of real hometown entertainment!

STRAND ON THE AIR broadcasts 5-6 p.m. on the last Sunday of the month this summer: June 28th, July 26th, and August 30th. Hear past shows on The Strand’s soundcloud page.

Returning to LIVE Programming

As restrictions are easing, some of our DJs are cautiously returning to live-programming in the studio. These shows are marked as LIVE on the schedule.

Many WRFR programmers are still producing their shows remotely. Please note some shows may be re-runs so you may hear announcements of events, weather, etc. from the past.

The Metro Show has been live this whole time and will continue to be covering the COVID-19 crisis each Wednesday, 5-6 pm. If you have something important to contribute to the community about the crisis, please contact Joe Steinberger at: steinberger@gwi.net
