"A sunny day, a quaint antique store, browsing through the artifacts of the past. To some, these are the ingredients for a pleasantly-spent afternoon. To Frank, it is the beginning of a journey that will tear his world inside out. Is his amusing and puzzling journey down memory lane an actual journey? Or a careening descent into insanity?"

"Special kudos to Farquhar who did a bang-up job with sound on “Every Now and Then”. I said earlier that I’ve not heard a lot of radio drama, but I’ve heard some and the quality of this one was right up there with any I’ve heard. Great job creating a seamless, credible soundscape that let the actors do their jobs."

Dave Carley one of Canada's leading Playwrights and Radio Dramatists scripted this original Radio Drama especially for Voices In The Wind Audio Theatre.
"Meg and her Mom Sandra are heading to Detroit to do a little cross-border shopping, and take in a Tigers game. However, Sandra's passport has expired and they are turned back at the border. An odd encounter on the Windsor waterfront leads them into a wild night of time-travel, rum-smuggling, a near-drowning, hijackers, customs officials thirsty for bribes and a chance encounter with controversial baseball legend Ty Cobb."
The sound effects and music will take you from 2010 back to the 1920s; a time when ‘heading for the wild west' meant sneaking into Michigan with a boatload of Canadian contraband!"
Directed by: Joey Ouellette, Artistic Director of the Purple Theatre Company, Windsor Ontario.

RUNNING TO DETROIT - REVIEWS:
"I had a chance to listen to the show last night - it's wonderful!
I think it held together really well;... it just clipped along and was engaging throughout. I thought the transitions from scene to scene worked really well - it was always easy to tell where we were, and when a change had occurred, which is one of the toughest areas to solve in radio drama.
The acting was great - loved the performances. I won't centre anyone out in particular, though I really appreciated the nice rapport your Meg and Sandra had, and you certainly picked your Meg well! The others were all terrific too, with great humorous cameos.
All in all, well done, and thanks!
Cheers,
Dave”
