Lux Radio Theater: My Man Godfrey

Presented by AFTRA/SAG Senior Radio Players

Wednesday, February 22
7:00 PM — 9:00 PM
Claudia Cassidy Theater
FREE EVENT, no ticket or reservation required

Audiences are invited to witness the performance of classic radio scripts by voice actors, sound effects artists and, often, live musicians.  The AFTRA/SAG Players stay faithful to the original model by having to get it right the first time – no retakes permitted.  Admission is Free.

Seventy-four years after its initial broadcast, this radio adaptation, based on the movie of the same name, somehow holds up. Despite the deep economic depression the country was in, this is a funny depiction of those times. The story opens with a bizarre scavenger hunt. Teams made up of the very wealthy search for what they call “a forgotten man.” The successful team discovers a seemingly hopeless alley dweller—Godfrey—who is cleaned up and given a job as a butler. Godfrey, as you may suspect, is no ordinary person, and his example teaches the upper class family some lessons about real life.
