Talking Information Center Announces New Radio Drama Series this Summer

TIC volunteer, Karen Hayes, auditioning for the TIC Radio And Podcast Players

As the weather heats up, so does the drama at the Talking Information Center (TIC), where a brand new production of three radio plays will air this summer!

Listeners will be able to tune in to TIC, the award-winning nonprofit reading service which broadcasts 24-hours a day to thousands of visually impaired and otherwise print impaired listeners throughout the state, on Thursday, June 29, 2017 at 7 p.m. for the live broadcast of “Sorry, Wrong Number”, the legendary thriller by Lucille Fletcher, which premiered in 1943.

TIC Radio and Podcast Players, comprised of 45 TIC volunteers who auditioned for parts, will perform each radio play in front of a live studio audience backstage at TIC. “Sorry, Wrong Number”, the first in the series, features a talented cast of 12: Dianne Legro, Bill Zirpolo, Steve Virta, Joan Dowd, Maryellen Walsh, Norman Blair, Karen Ferrari, who are all Marshfield residents; Loretta Patterson of Duxbury; Joanne Salines of Hanover; Susan Romboldi (who is blind and will read the script in Braille), Bob Churchill and Richard Bodurtha of Plymouth.

TIC’s Producer John Shea and Eric Joseph, Executive Director of The Bay Colony Shakespeare Company (BCSC), will lead the all-volunteer radio drama production. Shea and Joseph worked together on TIC’s successful production of “Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night”, which was performed by BCSC actors. Joseph, who is a resident of Cohasset, has a BFA in Drama from Syracuse University and has produced over forty PIE (Performance In Education) touring Shakespearean performances and faculty workshops. Prior to BCSC, Joseph worked for Clear Channel Entertainment in Manhattan on 22 Broadway shows as Senior Vice President of Sponsorship and Marketing, including “The Producers”, “Movin Out” and “Billy Crystal’s 700 Sundays”.

“Since radio drama is all vocal, casting is done by pitch. There has to be variety in the tone of voices so that each character is distinct,” explained Joseph. “The one requirement for cast members? They have to be a volunteer at TIC.”

No tickets will be sold to TIC’s Radio Drama production, but donations may be made in support of it. Businesses that wish to support this production may become part of the show through unique underwriting messages. Title and break sponsorships are available.

“The goal of this new programming is to bring live theater to those who might not have access to it otherwise due to accessibility, transportation or financial issues and to bring our audience of over 30,000 listeners fresh, new and exciting content,” said Jim Bunnell, TIC’s Executive Director. “We are delighted to work with renowned director Eric Joseph and our amazing volunteers to bring the thrill of live radio drama to listeners.”

To become a sponsor, contact TIC’s Anna Dunbar at (781) 834-4400.

Emerson Bearing Boston Expands Line of Bearings for Robotic Applications

Emerson Bearing Boston, a bearing company catering to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) markets around the world, has expanded their line of thin section bearings.

Lightweight, versatile, space-saving bearings 

Used in a wide range of applications, from medical automation and robotics to high tech – thin section bearings have a compact, lightweight design. They are ideal for various robotic applications including human assist, pick and place, semiconductor, and medical. Since they are often used when space limitations or specific design configurations prevent the use of conventional bearings, thin section bearings allow for versatility in many applications and come in a range of contact angle designs, including radial contact, angular contact, and four-point contact.

Emerson Bearing’s expanded thin section bearing line includes Barden, FAG, IGUS, IKO, INA, GMN, DURBAL, Nachi, NTN, RBC and Torrington brands.

Unlike radial ball bearings, thin section bearings’ cross diameter remains the same regardless of bore size, and as such reduces system costs and streamlines overall design. High-tech applications often require custom bearings with special materials, surface coatings, or lubricants in order to meet specialized machine needs. Thin section bearings can effectively meet these types of application requirements, including very low or uniform torque, high positioning accuracy, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with very clean environments.

“Thin section bearings allow for significant space savings and overall system weight reduction – ideal advantages when designing sophisticated and critical-application products,” explained Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing. “Emerson Bearing is able to provide the appropriate bearings in addition to customization services as needed.”

Emerson Bearing offers a vast inventory and 24/7 service, which is critical to customers’ operations. Among Emerson Bearing’s wide range of clients is a very large manufacturer of robotic and automation equipment that serves the automotive industry, as well as the automation of the complete assembly of flat screen televisions.

About Emerson Bearing Boston

Founded in 1957, Emerson Bearing Boston specializes in bearings for OEM and MRO markets throughout the world. The company provides solutions to a variety of industries including: aggregate, concrete, mining, machine tools, electric motor repair, marine, material handling, metal processing, packaging, food processing, paper converting, printing, wind/power generation, recreation, heavy construction, robotics, automation, transportation, wood products, wastewater treatment, pump, compressor and oil field.

Emerson Bearing Boston offers customers a one-stop shopping experience. With an online product catalog with over 3 million bearings – ranging in size from 3mm to tunnel-boring 15-foot-diameter giants; a vast inventory of bearings; worldwide sourcing; a fixed price program; a knowledgeable staff; same day shipping and 24/7 service, Emerson Bearing Boston has become a leading provider of bearings in the U.S. They are the sister company of Action Bearing and maintain headquarters at 201 Brighton Ave. Boston, MA.
