Landmark Radio Theater will present “Stage Door,” an adaptation of the classic 1937 film, on Sunday, Sept. 30, at 6 p.m. at the Landmark on Main Street in Port Washington.
The show will be presented as a radio play with music and sound effects, performed before a live audience.
Building on the success of last year’s inaugural performance, Landmark Radio Theater’s cast of talented community and professional performers will bring the comedy-drama to life on the Jeanne Rimsky Theater stage, re-enacting a coast-to-coast radio broadcast from 1939 complete with period commercials and songs.
The show will also be recorded for later broadcast.
“’Stage Door’ was a natural choice this year,” said Pat Lyons, the show’s director. “The characters face challenges that will resonate strongly with our audience, and the script is chock-full of engaging characters and all the wit, wisecracks and snappy dialogue that Hollywood used to do so well.”
Though “Stage Door” is set in a bygone era, its themes are as current as today’s headlines.
It tells the story of a group of young women striving to make it in show business, an industry in the grip of powerful men.
With dreams of stardom, each hopeful actress travels down a different road in search of success.
“Stage Door” is a production of the Landmark on Main Street and Expressive Elocution.
Landmark Radio Theater is sponsored by Joe and Maureen Wekselblatt, with support from Wild Honey on Main restaurant.
Tickets to the show are $10 and can be purchased at the Landmark Box Office, by calling 516-767-6444, or online at landmarkonmainstreet.org.
Landmark on Main Street is located at 232 Main St. in Port Washington.
