Lights on the Radio Tower

Book & Lyrics by Emily Goodson

Music & Additional Lyrics by Kevin James Thornton

* World Premiere *

This thrilling two-hander rock musical tells the story of Molly and Jesse, a brother and sister who, after eighteen years apart, reunite at their decaying childhood home following the death of their father. The estranged rock duo's competing recollections of their childhood, their last night together, and their final gig force them to face the painful truth of their past. LIGHTS ON THE RADIO TOWER is a story of regret, the power of reconciliation, and the unbreakable bond between a sister and brother.

Originally developed at the Adirondack Theatre Festival and Bloomington Playwrights Project, this musical was then filmed in 2021 under strict and organized production safety and testing protocols under SAG-AFTRA. Produced by Five OHM Productions & Indie Theatrical with a limited run streaming on Five OHM TV.

Starring Carrie Manolakos & Max Sangerman

“A flashback in silhouette is particularly striking. Jefferson Ridenour's scenic design suggests a garage floating in a void of memory, while his costumes convey time and place while pushing against stereotype (I particularly appreciated Jesse's emo getup during a flashback to the early aughts).” - Zachary Stewart, TheaterMania
