The Makeshift Radio Theater will be presenting “My Man Godfrey” with live sound effects on June 13th and 19th at 7:00pm and June 14th, 20th and 21st at 2:00pm. Rehearsals begin May 26th through June 12th as set by the Director Linda Graske. 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.
