The Great Gatsby: A Live Radio Play at Valley Players Theater

The Valley Players will present The Great Gatsby: A Live Radio Play from Oct. 7-23 at the Valley Players Theater, 4254 Main Street (Rt. 100), Waitsfield. Show days and times are Fridays & Saturdays at 7 pm and Sundays at 2 pm. The show will be styled as a 1940s Live Radio Broadcast, adapted by Joe Landry, with an ensemble of six actors bringing to life more than two dozen characters from the novel. Sound effects will be created live on stage with musical accompaniment by Daniel Bruce, composed by Kevin Connor. The set will reflect a 1940s radio studio, and the show will be punctuated by 40s-era commercials. The production is directed by Shannon Sanborn. Tickets are $18 for evening shows and $14 for matinees and are available in advance from www.valleyplayers.com, or by reservation by calling 802-583-1674.
