PROJECT AUDION 78 - Doctor Christian

PROJECT AUDION 78 - Doctor Christian Even the greatest creative people had to start somewhere. For Rod Serling, whose "Twilight Zone" series is one of the landmarks of television, it was the radio series "Doctor Christian." Project Audion is proud to recreate his very first professionally sold script for that show, which hasn't been heard since it originally aired back on November 9, 1949. Doctor Christian, which starred Jean Hersholt, was a popular and long-running light drama series about a small town doctor and the wide range of people he helped. While completing college, Rod Serling submitted a script about a boxer who was facing the fight of his life - entitled "To Live a Dream."  Entered into Christian's annual scriptwriting contest, it came in second place, and gave Serling his first income from writing, his first national broadcast -- and the first step of Rod Serling's own dream. It's a surprisingly polished and intense first step, at that!  Audion's far-flung voice actors included. Ken Raney in Texas Andy Hartson-Bowyer in Virginia Sheree Wichard in Pennsylvania Pete Lutz in Texas Hunter Adkins in Maryland Dana Gonsalves in Texas and Tim Burns in Kansas Music, Sound, production and direction by Larry Groebe in Texas.
