A huge crowd of DC Theatre fans have gathered, hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite nominees. Television cameras are trained on reporter Rona Slivers at the head of the red carpet, ready to give her usual biting fashion commentary…But what’s this? No taxis? No limos? No stars? Where are all the nominees? No Hedman, no Hicken, no Hemmingsen? And what’s that whispering??? Nancy Robinette has skipped town!?!? Something doesn’t smell right here–and the situation is also strange…. Will the curtain on the Audience Choice Awards Show ever go up? Is this the end of theatre in Washington, DC? Get comfy and listen in as Hashell Dammitt solves THE CASE OF THE EMPTY RED CARPET Created by The Audible Group Here’s your program. BONUS: Be an Audiodetective yourself! There is ONE show title of ALL the 2009 Audience Choice Awards shows which did not make it (referenced or named outright) into The Case Of The Red Carpet.
