The “catch” is he must escort Mr. Olson’s niece, Martha to the big game. Three Skeleton Key" is a short story by the French author Georges-Gustave Toudouze. James Poe adapted the story for radio in a version that aired on Escape on November 15, 1949. The plot involves three men (Jean, Louis, and Auguste) tending a lighthouse on an island off the coast of French Guiana. The rock the lighthouse stands on is dubbed 'Three Skeleton Key’. An abandoned ship, infested with ferocious rats, makes landfall. A life-and-death struggle ensues as the men seek to save themselves from the hungry horde, who swarm over the lighthouse. The three men barely survive fending off the rats when they break into the tower. Just what is the chilling reason why the rats eventually leave the lighthouse? Join us for this suspenseful, thrilling tale.

Lauren went on to make her own mark on the gospel music world as a member of her family group, The Talleys, with whom she received numerous awards, including a 2015 Dove Award for their song, "Hidden Heroes." Lauren's lead vocals shine on eleven number one hits for the group. She has recorded seven solo albums, including 2019’s unprecedented release of two albums simultaneously, “Glorious God: Songs of Worship and Wonder,” and “Loudest Praise: Hymns Of Mercy, Love and Grace.” Her 2017 album, “The Gospel,” reached the number one position on Billboard’s southern gospel chart. She is also the author of "Songs In The Night," a companion devotional book to her 2010 album of the same title.

In 2014 she was awarded an honorary doctorate degree in Worship Arts from John Wesley University. When not traveling or recording her own music, Lauren often serves as studio background singer and producer for other recordings and works with emerging artists as a voice and performance coach.
