Good eve. Welcome to Skywave. We begin with a melodrama from the Royal Gelatin Hour. Originally aired 1937, "Curtain" is the final performance from a stage starlet. But if it's not on the boards, where? Stay tuned...We continue with a dramady from playwright Jack Heifner. Published 1977, "Patio" considers the amusing lives of sisters Jewel and Pearl as they ponder the past and present; told with witty humor and yet a sense of desperation on a hot, dry Texas patio. And here to cool your ears are voice regulars Sherry Brown and Ginny Kaufmann along with your host Andy Pettit.

Stay cool and listen to Mary Robinson and Julie Greenberg tell us about feminist solutions to climate change. They say we can lower the temperature on extreme weather events like this weekend's heat wave going forward with action now. Planet Philadelphia 4-5 pm today.
