The My Man Godfrey radio play mirrors the 1936 screwball comedy film. It
follows a "forgotten man" from a city dump hired as a butler by an
eccentric, wealthy family, bringing order to their chaos while navigating
the romantic pursuits of two sisters.

ALL AGES WELCOME!!!

Actors will be asked to read multiple roles in a range of ages, both high
society and blue collar.  Some roles are giddy, some are uptight, some are
suave, some are hard boiled. This is a classic  1930s screwball comedy—fast
and funny and sometimes just silly.

What age someone can SOUND LIKE is all that matters!  That’s the beauty of
radio.

Main characters include:


   -

   Godfrey Smith: A seemingly homeless man who is actually a wealthy,
   disillusioned Bostonian; he becomes the calm, witty butler to the Bullocks.
   -

   Irene Bullock: The kind-hearted, scatter-brained younger daughter who
   hires Godfrey and falls in love with him.
   -

   Cornelia Bullock: Irene's spoiled, vindictive older sister who tries to
   get Godfrey fired.
   -

   Alexander Bullock: The overwhelmed father and businessman trying to
   manage his family's finances.
   -

   Angelica Bullock: The "ditsy" mother who is obsessed with the arts and
   her protégé.
   -

   Carlo: A mooching "protégé" supported by Angelica.
   -

   Molly: The sarcastic, observant maid who warns Godfrey about the
   family's antics.
