PROJECT AUDION 73 - Gunsmoke

from Moonlight Audio Theatre

Gunsmoke...the show that single-handedly created the "adult western" series drama genre...the show that moved the genre from the kid-centered "Lone Ranger" into darker, more mature themes... the show that ran for 10 years and nearly 500 radio episodes, and 20 years and 600 more chapters on television. A handful of Gunsmoke audio recordings have been lost for seven decades, but Project Audion now recreates one of those missing episodes - in fact, Gunsmoke's second-ever show from May 3, 1952. Listen to our-country cast bring back Marshall Matt Dillon, Doc Adams, Chester and others in our live Zoom recording of the dark drama titled "Ben Thompson." Denny Thompson, Colorado Glenn Hascall, Kansas Norman Cline, Kentucky Kim Titus, Texas Jane Beverley, New Jersey Pete Fernbaugh, West Virginia Duane Noch, New Jersey Caleb Fisher, Virginia Production supervised by Larry Groebe, Texas
