“AN EVENING OF OLD-TIME RADIO”

Saturday, September 30, 2017 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

“AN EVENING OF OLD-TIME RADIO WITH THE METROPOLITAN WASHINGTON OLD-TIME RADIO CLUB” The Metro Washington Old-Time Radio Club makes its third appearance at the Packard Theater with an evening they call “Mostly Lost Radio.” These are programs for which, in most cases, recordings of their original broadcast no longer survive. They will begin with three examples of domestic comedy: “Raising Junior,” an early NBC series from 1930; “Post Toasties Time” from 1942, featuring “Baby Snooks,” the character originated by Fanny (“Funny Girl”) Brice; and “Easy Aces” from 1945, conceived and originally performed by Goodman Ace (later the head writer for Milton Berle and Perry Como) and his wife Jane, the Queen of Malapropisms. The finale will be the famous “Chicken Heart,” written by Arch Oboler for the “Lights Out” series. At the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. Tickets are required for this free event and can be reserved at www.radioshow-culpeper.eventbrite.com Begins at 7:30 p.m.
