Des Moines Playhouse Presents GOLDEN AGE OF RADIO

The Des Moines Community Playhouse's Final Act Ensemble presents their winter show, a salute to old-time radio comedy, at 7:00 PM, Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2018. Tickets are $10 for all ages and available online at dmplayhouse.com and at the Playhouse ticket office, 515-277-6261.

The winter 2018 showcase is dedicated to the lighter side of crime and detection. What these actors do to get laughs is a crime! Audiences will revisit old friends from the Golden Age of radio - Fibber McGee and Molly, Dick Tracy, Burns and Allen - plus experience zany commercials and favorite songs from the days of yore.

The Final Act Ensemble is a troupe of performers ages 60 and older that present classic and original radio plays, including commercials and live and recorded sound effects. Programs are available for youth, adult, and multi-generational audiences.

The Playhouse is Iowa's oldest and largest producing theatre. Located at the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences including classes for ages 4 to adult, theatre trips to New York, and volunteer opportunities onstage and backstage.
