Aptos High School is very excited to present Radio Daze, directed by Stacy Aronovici and associate director Catherine Leal. World War II has sent the United States into despair and many citizens turn to the radio for relief.
Jimmy Glassman and Saana Kayser
Connie Carol (Saana Kayser, a junior) and Dash Darling (Jimmy Glassman, a senior) have been the stars of the radio soap opera Dreams and Delusions for years, but are growing out of their characters.
In an attempt to revive the show, up-and-comer writers Jack Kelly (Ben Ford, junior) and Eugene Eubanks (Riley Page, junior) make some major changes. While successful amongst the audience, these changes cause discord within the station.
To make matters worse, a misunderstanding between the daughter of the show’s sponsor, Daisy Airheart (Laurel Southall, junior), and the station gives the sponsor more intel than intended.
The sponsor, however, is not the only undercover spy in the station. Love is in the air as this family-friendly comedy has several blossoming relationships and plenty of action! A German spy? A secret government official? Come watch the mystery unfold!
There will be one weekend of performances:
- Thursday, April 13 at 7:30 pm (doors open at 7 pm)
- Friday, April 14 at 7:30 pm (doors open at 7 pm)
- Saturday, April 15 at 3 pm (doors open at 2:30 pm)
- Saturday, April 15 at 7:30 pm (doors open at 7 pm)
Performances will be in the Aptos High School Performing Arts Center, 100 Mariner Way, Aptos.
