Though best known for The Red Badge of Courage, his classic novel of
men at war, Stephen Crane produced a wealth of other stories that
stand among the most acclaimed and enduring in the history of
American fiction.
This adaptation of Crane’s classic short story “The Pace of Youth”
was produced with wonderful sound effects and music by veteran radio
theater producer Joe Bevilacqua, who is joined in the fine cast by
William Melillo, Cathi Tully, Peter Cummings, and Leslie Spital.
Stephen Crane (1871–1900) was an American novelist, poet and
journalist. He worked as a reporter of slum life in New York and a
highly paid war correspondent for newspaper tycoons William Randolph
Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. He wrote many works of fiction, poems,
and accounts of war, all well received but none as acclaimed as his
1895 Civil War novel The Red Badge of Courage. Today he is
considered one of the most innovative American writers of the 1890s
and one of the founders of literary realism.
Pedro Pablo Sacristan was born in Madrid and graduated with an MBA
from a prestigious business school. His passion for education and
writing led him to create Bedtime Stories, short stories that help
teach kids values.
In 1971, Joe Bevilacqua's father bought him a cassette recorder, on
which is created his first audio story: Willoughby and the
Professor, acting all the voices himself at the age of 12. In 1975,
Daws Butler, the voice of Yogi Bear and many Hanna-Barbera and Jay
Ward cartoon characters, dubbed himself Joe Bev's personal mentor,
after hearing 120 minute cassette of Bev's Willoughby
improvisations. Since 1980, Bevilacqua has produced any
award-winning radio programs for National Public Radio, Sirius-XM
Satellite Radio and others.
