Many of our shows work well as radio plays but these two are especially wonderful! NEW! THE LAST DAY AT W.O.R.K. Gender Flexible roles for 12-16 actors An old radio station in a small southern town, W.O.R.K. is signing off the air after 50 years. The station owners, a couple in their 70's have invited back their old favorite acts for one last nostalgic show before retiring. Your actors will love the "radio" format which allows them to read their part rather than memorizing it. You will meet Margaret Buntmeyer: the pompous society reporter, Madame Cheri: the scatter-brained psychic, Susie: the depressed gardening expert, Eva Rose: the sexy torch singer, Priscilla: the devoted Yankee Elvis fan; and the eccentric cast from the local community theatre who show up to do Hamlet in four minutes with the help of a Foley artist doing funny sound effects. THE LAST DAY AT W.O.R.K. was written for and performed by a Senior Theatre company. The four-minute version of the Hamlet scene was enthusiastically received at the Senior Theatre USA Performance Festival in Baltimore. This piece is southern comedy at its best!
