The Secretariat

A fresh, wonder-filled look at man’s relationship with God in this inspiring banquet of food for thought. Hume Cronyn, William Shatner, and Tandy Cronyn star in a program about prayer, showcasing scores of actual prayers from around the world and across the centuries.

Humor, insight, fact, and fancy meet excitingly in Norman Corwin's production, which explores man's oldest and most universal means of appealing to divine authority -- through prayer and the giving of thanks. William Shatner and Tandy Cronyn star as parents of a young son who is curious about how heaven handles billions of prayers, whereupon Hume Cronyn, as Chief of God's Secretariat, conducts Shatner on a tour of the facilities, in the course of which are monitored some of the swarms of actual prayers said through the ages.

This work by America's grand master of audio theater offers listeners of all ages a banquet of food for thought, worthy of many listenings. it will fascinate anyone interested in man's relationship with the Maker of the cosmos.

This inventive, engaging “mosaic for radio” uses a raft of wonderful voices, including Firesign Theatre's Phil Proctor, Walt Beaver, Melanie Chartoff, Steve Franken, Elizabeth O Reilly, Melinda Peterson, Elliot Reid, Yuri Rasovsky, and Zak Walker.
