originally published: 08/03/2023

(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Return to the era when families gathered around the wireless set for “theater of the imagination.” The Ocean County Library Toms River Branch will host a live presentation by When Radio Entertained People (WREP) on Wednesday, August 23. The event begins at 7:00pm.

When Radio Entertained People (WREP) consists of 10 talented actors who re-enact scripts from radio’s “Golden Age” of the 1940s and 1950s. Michael Glenn Miller, known to local audiences since 1972, leads the cast, many of whom have performed in motion pictures, television, and professional theatre.

The troupe has performed at the Ocean County Library since its inception in 2008.

Attendees will be treated to a music and a trivia contest prior to the performance, which will feature episodes of Suspense, Our Miss Brooks, and My Friend Irma, complete with sound effects.
