Notes by the Playwright: Butch was originally conceived as a stage sketch for a variety show at Pittsford Sutherland High School in 2018. The absurdist imaginative nature of this sketch led quite easily to its adaptation for radio. It was recorded remotely with actors performing together whilst miles away from each other. This production was made possible by their hard work and commitment to making it work under strenuous circumstances. Thank you for tuning in.

Written, directed, and produced by Jay Bradley as winner of TNT Radio Productions' T-MINUS 120 competition, where writers competed to write the best play from a prompt within just two hours, which was then voted on by members of the club and audience. Read throughs of other plays written for the competition can be found on our YouTube channel.
The Curator was played by Tyler Jennes, The Artist was played by Brianna Lowe, and The Museumgoer was played by Noah Pantano.
Notes by the Playwright: 'The Museum' is meant to evoke feelings of frustration, loneliness, hesitation, and lack of confidence that the pandemic has brought many of us. The crumbling of things you've held dear, the isolated creativity, the loss of someone you hold dear, the difficulty of finding connection in a way that there's never been before; these are attempted to be captured within the three characters' interactions and individual stories. The exhibit is based on The Artist is Present by Marina Abramović, with a notable difference being now the communication rather than the stoic silence. I felt that in her original work, the novelty was the silent focus. Now, what is novel is intimate conversation.
