Information About this Event
Landmark Radio Theater: Cocktail Blues
“Cocktail Blues: A Tale of the Jazz Age” is an original play in the
classic style of radio dramas from the Golden Age of broadcasting,
performed live on stage by the Landmark Radio Theater.
Set in Port Washington in the Roaring Twenties, “Cocktail Blues” tells the story of a newly wealthy family who rent a summer place on the Gatsby-era Gold Coast. Flappers, jazz music and cocktails are all the rage, but Prohibition is in full force. Will trying to make a splash in society boost their daughter’s chances for romance, or tangle them up with bootleggers and land them in jail?
A talented cast will give voice to an array of vivid characters, with live music and sound effects created right on stage. The hourlong performance will also feature period-style station breaks between acts.
Landmark Radio Theater’s previous productions have included adaptations of classic films as well as original radio plays. Everyone is invited to get in on the fun this year with “Cocktail Blues: A Tale of the Jazz Age.”
A co-production of Landmark on Main Street and Expressive Elocution.
