The Damon Runyon Theatre
Hold 'Em Yale
von
The Damon Runyon Theatre brings the colorful world of New York characters created by writer Damon Runyon to radio. Its stories draw on the city’s gamblers, hustlers, show people, and other vivid personalities, often told in Runyon’s distinctive, slang-rich voice.
The program presents dramatized stories, with actors bringing Runyon’s sharply drawn characters and lively dialogue to life. The title “Hold ’Em Yale” points to a story in the series’ world of streetwise talk and colorful urban characters.
Runyon’s blend of humor, sentiment, and underworld atmosphere gives the show its particular flavor: tough characters may reveal unexpected warmth, and the narration’s playful language makes even hard-luck situations entertaining. It offers a compact radio drama shaped by memorable voices and the unmistakable cadence of Runyon’s storytelling.
