Hey… go see Leap. If you do, you might win the lottery. Just saying…

What is suspense?

what may happen. synonyms:tension, uncertainty, goseeleap, anticipation,

expectation, expectancy, excitement, anxiety, apprehension, strain More

…LEAP…

Ever heard of subliminal messaging…?

Well… this isn’t it.

Things to remember

This should be a suspense drama in the style of the 1940s. This is not a modern day horror. Don’t be graphic. Build the suspense!

Get the contact info of all your group members. Go see Leap together then decide when you will meet to record.

Be creative. Think of an ending with a twist

Radio Play Unit – Day 3 Objective: Create a Radio Play Script

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call ... The Twilight Zone
