THE GOLDEN AGE RADIO REVUE SHOW SYNOPSIS:
Step up to the microphone and bring the Golden Age of radio to life.
Chestnut Square and the McKinney Repertory Theatre invite adult performers (18+) to audition for The Golden Age Radio Revue—a fast-paced, vintage-style production filled with classic comedy, storytelling, and live sound. Directed by DeAnna Stone, this ensemble-driven show features a variety of memorable roles, from the quick-witted charm of George Burns and Gracie Allen, to the clever narration of Dave, the eccentric Morniel Mathaway, and the iconic rapid-fire comedy of Abbott & Costello—plus announcers, townsfolk, and character voices throughout.
AUDITION INFORMATION:
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script, so come ready to play, explore character voices, and have fun with timing, tone, and personality. No memorization required—just a willingness to jump in and collaborate.
Whether you’re experienced on stage or looking for something new, this is a unique opportunity to perform in a lively, nostalgic format where your voice takes center stage.
Join us and become part of the story—live from historic McKinney.
Director: DeAnna Stone
