Farewell to a Friend

Sean Heline

I have some good news and some sad news to report. The good news is that our radio pal Sean Heline has found a great new job in Michigan and he and his lovely bride Lynn will be making a new home together in the northern climes. The sad news is that Sean will no longer be joining us to make radio fun every month as a regular cast member. Sean has been with the show from almost the beginning of our little radio experiment (He made his first appearance on our second episode to be precise) and it’s going to be hard to imagine the show without him.

He was the voice of Hugh Belmont, Harlow Wilcox, Howard Fine and, of course, Hoppy Hopper. He is truly a class act. When you need a leading man, you get Sean Heline. When you need a hero with a heart of gold, you get Sean Heline. When you need someone with a comic wit, you get Sean Heline. If you need a good friend, onstage and off, you hope that Sean Heline walks into your life.

Thank you and good luck, Sean. Speaking for the cast and crew, I think it’s safe to say you will be greatly missed. We wish you and Lynn and your family only the best. Happy trails, my friend!

The End is Near

Abe (Sean Heline) tries to rally behind Arlo (Tom Cherry), but Mr. Peabody (Jeff Shull) is not impressed.
We had our last rehearsal tonight and tomorrow we wrap up One Funky Halloween. Bittersweet, my friends, bittersweet.

Nothing Weak About This Weekend

It was a great weekend! One Funky Halloween opened Friday in front of an enthusiastic audience and the fun continued Saturday night! The radio show had a full house Saturday afternoon as the radio gang presented some ghastly Halloween goodness! Thanks to all our family, friends, and neighbors who came out to support us all!
 If you missed your chance to see One Funky Halloween, our final performance will be this Friday at 7:00 pm (6:30 pm for the dinner) at the Farmland Community Center (Call 765-468-7631 for reservations)! Be there or be square!
