About Play it by Ear Productions... In the summer of 2002, a new not-for-profit theatre production company devoted to the development and distribution of original plays for radio, the internet, and compact disc was created in New York City called Play it by Ear Productions. The following year, three world-premiere one-act works were produced for the anthology series "We Have Ignition."
From the summer of 2003 on, Play it by Ear has made the Central Coast of California its home, and in January of 2005, its presence was made known in the Monterey/Carmel area with a live re-creation of Norman Corwin's legendary audio essay We Hold These Truths at the Canterbury Woods Auditorium in Pacific Grove, a presentation which featured a record 18 local actors.
In 2006, Play it by Ear initiated a series of live re-creations of shows from the golden age of radio, called "Those Thrilling Days of Yesteryear" in Pacific Grove. This was followed by the "A Signal to Noise" series in 2008, where modern plays, classic tomes, dark fantasies, and political statements are performed live audio-theatre-style, beginning with Ron Sossi and Frank Condon's adaptation of The Chicago Conspiracy Trial in 2008, and continuing with Starstruck by Elaine Lee, Susan Norfleet, and Dale Place (with Michael Kaluta) in 2009.
Play it by Ear was also instrumental in bringing audio theatre to a new generation of listeners in the Central Coast through collaborations with the Children's Experimental Theatre of Carmel, the School of Dramatic Arts at Pacific Repertory Theatre, and the International School of Monterey.
Numerous audio theatre projects are in various stages of development with Play it by Ear Productions. Keep checking back for updates!
At long last! COMPACT DISCS of The Field are available!
The 2003 "We Have Ignition" plays are also available for MP3 DOWNLOAD through the Spoken Network! The Field by Elizabeth Benjamin, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Chaz by Robert Grady, and The Love Song Of... by Lynn Rosen!

A few words from the Producing Director:
As always, I returned from the NATF Audio Theatre Workshop completely exhausted, but already looking ahead to the Organization's future. I already have two projects I'm sheparding for next year's Workshop, and am co-producing a special Workshop in Los Angeles next fall. But not a lot of time to rest as I prep for Starstruck promotions at San Diego Comic-Con next week. But Turn to Stone mixing has indeed resumed. And I do have another Play it by Ear announcement: the next-to-last Thrilling Days shows take place at The Works October 3 and 24, both shows at 6:30pm: two classic Lux Radio Theatre shows: Here Comes Mr. Jordan on the 3rd (a personal favorite of mine), and for Halloween, The Day the Earth Stood Still on the 24th.
More to come? Oh, yeah!
