Old Ironsides Colonial Radio Theatre

Old Ironsides
Escape to the Wind
Colonial Radio Theatre

Set sail again on America's oldest commissioned warship, this time just before the War of 1812. This project took on a life of its own while we researched and created this production. With a wonderful cast, the result is a stunning, uplifting program effused with the spirit of early America. You'll find new respect for "Old Ironsides" and be grateful for the freedoms that she helped to preserve. Includes the famous kedging incident (where Yankee ingenuity over comes a superior British fleet) and her brutal duel with the HMS Guerriere.

Some scenes and some language may be too intense for younger listeners.

Running time: 61 minutes
Cassette tape, $9.99 each

Old Ironsides

Colonial Radio Theatre

Old Ironsides". Her name is known to just about every American, but how many of us know her story and adventures? Too few, unfortunately. Her exploits read like a Hollywood screenplay or a novel from a wild imagination. However, they're all true and presented here for the first time in a historically accurate dramatization. The U.S.S. Constitution sails before your very eyes and her broadsides explode before your very ears! Her spirit will appear before you as she and Commander Preble once again proudly set sail for Tripoli!

Running time: 61 minutes
