Miss O’Debra plays ten different characters while her soundman stages live sound effects. Watch (but mainly listen) as Nick McKittrick: Private Dick hilariously solves a murder in “The Case of the Long-Distance Lover”.
“Radio Star” marks Tanya O’Debra’s re-emergence into the theatre after her 8 year collaboration as one half of The O'Debra Twins. She is armed and dangerous with the bawdy sense of humor you’ve come to love and expect from her. Watch (but mainly listen) as Nick McKittrick: Private Dick hilariously solves a murder in “The Case of the Long-Distance Lover”. “Radio Star” mixes convincing 1940’s dialogue with a current comedic sensibility. Fresh off a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, "Radio Star" finds a loving home at the Horse Trade Company's Red Room.

J. Lincoln Hallowell
(Performer)
Jr.(Announcer & Soundman) was born on a snowy day in August, 1963. A precocious child, he served as New York’s Chancellor for the Board of Education from 1967 – 1973. After a brief stint as a jockey, where he won the 1982 Peter Pan Stakes, he drifted into acting. His big break came on the short – lived 1988 FOX sitcom, “Double Duce,” where he played the dual roles of identical twin cousins Benito and Umberto Mussolini. He also coined the show’s catchphrase, “Hey! Who’s a da Duce ‘round a here!” He is in pre – production of a play that he has written, and will direct and star in, “Frost – Nixon II: The Thrilla in Wasilla!” in which he will play Emmanuel Steward. He has performed as a standup comic at several clubs around the metropolitan area, which refuse to pay for a mention in this biography. He currently lives in Brooklyn, with his wife Jennifer Glick, and their cat. In lieu of flowers, he asks that a donation be made in his name to the Pick 6 pool at Aqueduct. He will be missed.
