LENDING LIBRARY
SPERDVAC has collected a huge number of audio recordings and scripts from old-time radio programs. This library is available to all SPERDVAC members.
These are just some of the Special Guests from radio and television who have joined SPERDVAC at live events celebrating the Golden Days of Radio. These special attractions, held in Southern California and presented by SPERDVAC, feature re-creations of favorite radio programs of yesteryear. Bringing you a day of fun that you don’t want to miss!
Next Event – To be Announced
The magic of sitting in a studio audience watching voice actors produce live radio theater in the 30s and 40s isn’t entirely lost forever, thanks to the Society To Preserve and Encourage Radio Drama, Variety and Comedy (SPERDVAC). At live SPERDVAC events, notably the Convention in November and the Luncheon in March, celebrities from radio, television and film headline performances of these classic radio shows.
Unfortunately, we must announce the SPERDVAC 2020 Annual Convention will not take place. Instead, we will begin planning for 2021 convention. Due to the uncertain conditions surrounding the COVID-19 situation, the SPERDVAC Board of Directors has decided to place the health and well-being of our members and performing artist guests foremost in our planning. We know how much our SPERDVAC family looks forward to our annual get-together, and we aim to do so again when circumstances allow. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
In light of this decision, the Board is looking into some special online events and meetings to keep the SPERDVAC membership in touch and engaged. Stay tuned!”
When we return with live events, we promise to bring back fun filled performances of the greatest shows from radio. We’ll have live music and sound effects just like the originals. So if we’re doing a western, someone will be slapping coconuts together to sound like horses hooves!
You’ll get to see just how it was done back in the day!
