We Had Voices is an old time radio variety show reinvented for the 21st century. The live performance features a collection of short plays, readings, music, experimentation, and an eclecticism that's just a wee bit off kilter. It ain't your grandpa's kind of radio. Take it in with wide eyes and open ears, but don't forget -- it's all in your head.
We Had Voices debuted in March, 2007 to a crowd that hadn't quite realized that video killed the radio star a long time ago. What WHV brought back to life was a Prairie Home Frankenstein creature with a flair for making bad puns and cannibalism funny. WHV is cementing their style, eight feet tall, and has strange sprockets sprouting from their necks.
Their first performance was a labor of clandestine love -- the result of a half year of collecting material and throwing it in front of appreciative sold out downtown audiences. WHV is stepping up the pace and producing a quarterly session with continuing storylines and exciting new musical talent. They bring New York's best innovative artistic talent into a single room, and then step back and take cover as things get hot.
