Ocean County Library Toms River Branch to Present ‘When Radio Entertained People (WREP)’

TOMS RIVER – 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), 7 PM Wednesday, August 21.

You’ll be treated to a music and a trivia contest prior to the performance, which will feature episodes of Dragnet, Father Knows Best and Baby Snooks, complete with sound effects.

WREP is composed of 10 talented actors who revive radio’s “Golden Age” of the 1940s and 1950s. Michael Glenn Miller, familiar to local audiences since 1972, leads the performers who have appeared in motion pictures, television, and professional theater. The troupe has performed at the Ocean County Library since its inception in 2008.
