The Final Act Ensemble presents a lighthearted look at love and all its comedic chaos! The show features two old-time radio favorites, “Blondie and Dagwood” and “Father Knows Best.” Listen as Dagwood receives a surprise valentine from a mystery French girl. But when the mademoiselle in question appears on the scene—holy smoke! In “Father Knows Best, the Anderson family leads a merry chase around a Valentine’s Day orchid. Or is it two orchids? Three? In the surprise ending, we find who really knows best. Enjoy these tales, crazy commercials, live sound effects, and the perfect Valentine’s Day music this February.
The Final Act Ensemble is a troupe of performers ages 60 and older that present classic and original radio plays, including commercials and live and recorded sound effects. In addition to performances at The Playhouse, traveling programs are available for youth, adult, and multi-generational audiences.
