As a set of three radio plays, Wadena-Deer Creek drama students are performing two of the plays from “Vintage Hitchcock.” One of the radio plays includes commercials and murderous actors while the second is in a traditional style, though still with announcers, as drama director and English teacher Beth Hawkins said.
While students were not able to perform the play in the fall, rehearsals were quickly whipped into a production that is the culmination of some seniors sixth year in drama. The entertainment includes double agents, comedic relief and murder, as Hawkins said.
