Excellent video quality and very decent TV audio - check the samples to get an idea of the quality for yourself.
Extensive research did not find any released material that was ever used from this show.
The Vine Street Theatre had a little studio in the back part of the building. The show is billed on the theatre marquee at the beginning as "The Vine Street Theatre presents Homewood", but the on air host calls it "Session". They actually shot 6 hours, but only broadcast 1 hour. It was unscripted and unrehearsed.
