1940S Radio Christmas Carol, A
the long-awaited sequel to the popular the 1940's Radio Hour. It's Christmas eve, 1943, and the Feddington Players are now broadcasting from a hole-in-the-wall studio in Newark, NJ, and set to present their contemporary take on Dickens's a Christmas Carol. Whether it's the noisy plumbing, missed cues, electrical blackouts, or the over-the-top theatrics of veteran actor, but radio novice, William St. Claire, this radio show is an entertaining excursion into the mayhem and madness of a live radio show. St. Claire's escalating foibles and acting missteps propel the show to a simultaneously comedic and heart-wrenching Dramatic climax: St. Claire has an on-air breakdown, and begins to connect his own life with that of the classic Dickens tale. In order to save the show, the company improvises an ending to Charles Dickens' classic as a film noir mystery, featuring a hardboiled detective, a femme fatale, and an absurd rescue of Tiny Tim (and the Lindbergh baby) from the clutches of a Hitler-esque villain named Rudolf! High School Musical lyricist Faye Greenberg and composer David Wohl have written four delightful period songs for the Feddington Players, and swing arrangements of many Christmas standards. Seamlessly combining Drama and comedy, heartbreak and hope, the 1940's Radio Christmas Carol will sing its way into your heart. If you enjoyed 1940's Radio Hour, step back in time once again with the Feddington Players, and get into the holiday spirit with the 1940's Radio Christmas Carol

Beast Of Broadway, The
Synopsis:
David Merrick was Broadway's most famous and successful producer. "the Beast of Broadway gives the audience a behind the scenes look as we explore the workings of the very intense and inventive mind of David Merrick. the list of the shows he produced stands as the theater's most spectacular resume. . . . Unfortunately, he was also the most hated, reviled and feared man in show business. He was capable of great achievement, often accompanied by staggering acts of cruelty. Was he misunderstood? Was he the monster his enemies and those he hurt said he was, or is the truth somewhere in the middle?

the captain of the east High basketball team and the key member of the academic club shock the student body by teaming to audition for the upcoming school musical in a Disney Channel Original Movie that's all about being yourself and following your dreams. Troy is best known as the player who keeps the east High basketball team on the scoreboard. Of course, life isn't always about athletics, though, and as Troy slam-dunks on the boards, beautiful and brainy GabriElla is raising the reputation of east High as the key member of the school's successful academic team. Despite their outgoing natures, no one would ever peg Troy and GabriElla as theater types. When word gets out that this popular pair has secretly chosen to reach for the stars and try their luck on the stage, the students of east High are about to learn an important lesson in teamwork while gearing up for a musical performance that will have their audience dancing in the aisles.
