Gem Radio Theatre Presents True Crimes as Told by the Criminals
ADKX and the Albany Public Library present a virtual event, “As Told by the Criminals Themselves” featuring Gem Radio Theatre.
The Albany Public Library and The Adirondack Experience are pleased to present a Gem Radio Theatre virtual production featuring true crime stories told from the criminals' perspective.
Barbara Westbrook will narrate the story of Mildred Harris, a visitor to Saranac Lake, with sinister motives. Glen Repko will portray Monty Montague, a criminal who once mingled with celebrities. At the same time, Dennis Wilson will take on the role of Sam Pasco, known as the "Thurman Terror," a local miscreant who never entirely caught a break.
The event will be hosted via Zoom video conferencing, so you can participate from anywhere. To register for this free event, visit the ADKX website.
