Librarians Battle Futurist Artists in New Radio Play

Beaver, PA: Librarians and art will collide in the latest live radio
performance of "Dodge Intrepid and the Pages of Time" at Café Kolache on May 10th at 7:00pm. The free show features four new episodes of the old-fashioned radio drama filled with excitement, adventure and humor for the whole family.

Parodying the radio serials of the '30s and '40s, this latest
performance, subtitled "Web of the Futurist," follows Beaver County
librarian/time-traveler Dodge Intrepid and his loyal intern, Pluck
Gumption, as they battle an Italian villain known as The Futurist.
Their adventure combines pulpy action and literary satire as they
travel through time to defend the honor of the library. The show also
has a dose of art history in the mix.

"We've taken an obscure modern art movement and embodied it in this villain called The Futurist," says co-writer Mike Rubino. "It's a hilarious way to learn about the movement and everything it stood for."

"It's not often that you get to write a show that features Plato and a
librarian fighting a giant mechanical spider," says co-writer, and voice of Dodge Intrepid, James Catullo.

Episodes feature all of the clichés of the classic radio serials like
"The Shadow" or "The Green Hornet:" secret decoder messages,
cliffhangers, sound effects, and commercials for ridiculous products
like "Breakfast in a Jar" and "Potted Meat."

The "Dodge Intrepid" radio series was first created by Mike Rubino and James Catullo back in 2005. Since then, they have written and
performed over 40 episodes, which have also been podcast on the iTunes Music Store and on their blog (dodgeintrepid.blogspot.com). Performing alongside Rubino and Catullo is Michael Hinzman. All three are also members of the Beaver County-based sketch comedy and improv troupe, the Cellar Dwellers.
