“Radio Razzle Dazzle 1940 Comedy Radio Show”
Gina Montague is hosting the dinner theater show “Radio Razzle Dazzle 1940 Comedy Radio Show” at 6 p.m. at The Liberty, 312 N. Virginia Ave. The storyline is as follows: “It’s a few minutes to 8 p.m., New Year’s Eve 1940, at a radio studio, and a group of beleaguered employees are desperately trying to put on a live show. It’s the most important episode ever of ‘Invitation to Danger,’ but everything is going wrong: the organist and the sound effects man have eloped, the director is missing, one of the cast has passed out on the sofa and the script has arrived at literally the last moment. Will the heroes of the show, Steve, Blackie and Pete, finally uncover the true identity of the ‘Hooded Terror’ or will he escape them again? Will our plucky cast and crew wrestle some sort of sense from this hysterical catastrophe, or will chaos prevail? Tune in and find out.” The show is open to the public, and there is no membership required. For more information, visit thelibertyinc.com or call 575-627-2121.
