Commissioned for TUTV and written by Sam Watson , E=MC Hammer² was fashioned as a radio play, but performed live–unadorned and unedited–as it was captured by Temple students.  George Cummings produced and directed this episode, which was edited by Temple student Ankit Patel. The play features an eclectic cast of talented, local actors portraying multiple roles including John Ziegler, Joe Vallee, Keshaunia White, Adam Wahlberg, Joseph Trainor, Tom Pincipato, Kenneth McCaffery and Jenna Kuerz.
