RADIO FOLLIES 2014 is now in the annals of another successful event. Here is an images of Lucy and Ethel’s trip to Florida. Due to response, stay tuned for next year !!! Watch here (sign-up if you have not already done so) for next year’s announcement of this fun-filled evening.
Ever since we went “off the air” in 2013 the audience has been begging us to go back “on the air,” and on Saturday, March 15, 2014, CABIN FEVER RADIO FOLLIES OF 2014 will air at 7 PM in the Helen Miller Theater in the Walpole Town Hall. Attendees again are encouraged to come early (doors will open at 6:30) with their favorite beverage and food along with needed utensils. Tables can be reserved for family and friends or for an office party. The theater will be set with twenty round tables for eight so you can feel at home as though in your dining room listening to the radio.
The Bickersons will return along with George and Gracie. Groucho may be stopping by and you will be delighted with “A Date with Judy.” In all, airtime of about an hour and 15 minutes will carry you back to the 1930s, 40s, and 50s when life was a tad simpler.
Tickets will be available in late-February, however since we are expecting an early sell-out table reservations can now be made with payment of $5 per person. Call Ray at 603 756-4545 to make your reservation and arrange payment. Mark your calendars now for March 15th, gather your friends, and pack your dinner and beverages to join the fun.
Here, compliments of our official photographer Jan Kobeski, are some images taken during the Dress Rehearsal on December 10th. Please share this post and spread the word so we can have a record crowd, and record donations to The Fall Mountain Food Shelf, and Our Place Drop-In Center to help feed those less fortunate then we are. Thank you, RAY and TARA

and through Saturday will be at the Walpole, New Hampshire, Town Hall, starting on Wednesday, December 11th, and will continue through Saturday, December 14th reading his classic tale, A CHRISTMAS CAROL, while the Walpole Players assist in performing over a dozen scenes transforming Ebenezer Scrooge. The curtain goes up at 7PM when Mr. Dickens arrives for this benefit production for The Fall Mountain Food Shelf and Our Place Drop-In Center. Tickets are free, but attendees are requested to make a cash donation at the door so these two organizations may feed our less fortunate neighbors. In the first five years of this production, audience members have donated over $16,760. Full details and ticket information can be found at www.thewalpoleplayers.org or call Ray at 603 756-4545. Come “Join the Party.”
Hi All,
at 6 PM on stage.
Our first Press Release announcing this year’s performance of A CHRISTMAS CAROL is ready for distribution. I will be submitting it to the local newspapers, but cast members (and everyone else too) are invited to distribute the press release to their friends, church bulletins, to post on bulletin boards (along with a copy of our poster), etc. It has been the involvement of the cast with “getting the word out” which has helped us raise over $16,760 for local area food shelves. With luck this year we will break the $20,000 mark for our six years of effort and enjoyment.
