## Resource

No Soap Radio returns! Our 7th No Soap Radio production is based on an original script written by Craig Shemin (https://www.craigshemin.com/). This Jack Benny Radio Show takes place in 1969. Jack is invited to attend the launch of Apollo 11 which resulted in the first men walking on the moon. All of the usual cast of characters make appearances including Mary Livingston, Dennis Day, Phil Harris, Rochester, Don Wilson, Frank Nelson, and Sheldon Leonard. This production had it's premiere at the 4th annual Jack Benny Convention in February, 2024.
