On Friday,
October 26, Sky was honored to join the cast of "The Strange Affliction", a  one-act comedy written and
directed by the "Poet Laureate of Radio", 97-year-old Norman Corwin
for the benefit of the Thousand Oaks Library Foundation.

Reiner, Samantha Eggar, Norman
Lloyd, Marvin Kaplan,

Waldo, Linda Henning,
Peter
Dennis, Diane Mercer, Leonard Maltin, Gil Stratton and long-time California Artists Radio Theatre announcer, John
Harlan.
The staged radio show was a tribute to Norman Corwin and a salute to
philanthropist  Robert Ahmanson, who died in September. Also, the
event launched a new initiative for the Thousand Oaks Library,
which is constructing a wing to house the library's American Radio Archives - a collection of classic original
radio
drama scripts, recordings of original shows and other memorabilia.
 At the event, composer Kenneth Stange performed his original score for "The Strange Affliction". Tony Palermo provided sound effects and Marty Halperin
