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

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 is pleased to host a live presentation by WREP – When Radio Entertained People, 7 p.m. Wednesday, August 6.

Take a seat and enjoy musical entertainment, then test your memory in the trivia contest, all before episodes of My Friend Irma, Our Miss Brooks and Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel, complete with sound effects.

WREP consists of 8 talented performers who re-enact scripts from radio’s “Golden Age” of the 1940s and 1950s. Michael Glenn Miller, who has entertained local audiences since 1972, leads the cast of professionals with backgrounds in television, film, and live theater.

The troupe has performed regularly at the Ocean County Library since its inception in 2008. Fans follow WREP on Facebook.
