Cloak and Dagger On the Air Presents Annual Science-Fiction Show

This Saturday, March 28, at 4 p.m. at the Top of West Virginia Convention and Visitors Bureau, Cloak and Dagger On the Air will present its annual science-fiction show, titled For the World is Hollow.
Performed as a live audio drama, complete with music and sound effects, Cloak and Dagger On the Air: For the World is Hollow will reimagine three Golden Age of Radio scripts from the 1950s anthology series, X Minus One.
The production will also feature the latest installment of Emily Penelope’s Fabulous Flights of Fancy, an original serialized story created and written by Cloak and Dagger On the Air co-executive producer and head writer Pete Fernbaugh and starring child actor Abby Perry.
“Our annual science-fiction show is popular with both our cast and our audience,” Fernbaugh said. “Many of X Minus One’s episodes were based on stories written by pioneering writers of the genre, who spent the late 1940s and 1950s redefining the public’s expectations for what constituted great science fiction, namely philosophical explorations of the human condition that were grounded in actual science. Science fiction of the 1950s inspired Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek, and Rod Serling, creator of The Twilight Zone, both of whom realized that science fiction could explore then-current events in a way that didn’t feel politically or socially aberrant or confrontational.”
Cloak and Dagger On the Air: For the World is Hollow will present the following three radio adaptations by Ernest Kinoy and George Lefferts and reimagined for modern audiences by Fernbaugh:
