I’ve written before about California Artists Radio Theater, a labor of love for veteran actress Peggy Webber, who grew up during the golden age of radio (and played Jack Webb’s elderly mother on Dragnet when she in her 20s) and keeps the medium alive with live performances of shows both old and new. Her repertory company includes people who, like Peggy, actually worked in network radio way back when, as well as younger actors who have taken to the medium like ducks to water (including William Shatner and Sean Astin). This new, revised website leads you to photos and—

—biographies of the performers as well as ways to purchase shows CART has performed over the past twenty-five years. Want to hear Roddy McDowall as The March Hare in Alice in Wonderland, or David Warner as Sherlock Holmes? Check out the complete roster of CART programs available on CD. You can also sign up for the mailing list and learn about upcoming performances.
