What a delight it was to listen to Jonathan Menjivar’s piece on the Theatre Organ. This is a well-written, superbly mixed feature that masterfully paints a picture of Mark Noller’s replica of Chicago’s Music Box Theatre. The piece is nicely edited to include lots of examples of the instrument. I liked the fact that the producer included his script on-line. To my ear, it had the right balance of narration, music and interview. Overall, this is a great example of radio’s capability to create Theatre of the Mind.
