Classic comedy takes the Red Barn Theater stage as the Radio Players present 1940s and 50s programs featuring “Baby Snooks,” “Burns and Allen,” and the inimitable “Duffy’s Tavern”.Candy Jeltema, the Red Barn’s own Fanny Brice, stars in two Snooks scripts, “The Ugly Duckling,” and “Measles,” featuring Rich Weber as Baby’s long-suffering Daddy. Other cast members include John Hardy, Vicki Kavanaugh, Karen Drongowski, Phil Drongowski, Tom Mooney, Jane Dryer, and Dan DeWaard.

Everyone who followed last year’s high-level British nuptials will get a bang out of Burns and Allen in “The Royal Wedding,” centered on the marriage of Prince Philip and Princess Elizabeth in 1950. Ms. Kavanaugh is Gracie and Mr. Weber is George as radio’s funniest couple figure out a way to celebrate the goings on across The Pond. The rest of the players, with the addition of Andrew Plummer, portray the usual cast of George and Gracie zanies.

Economics becomes hysterical when Phil Drongowski as Archie decides to implement a ten percent price cut to stimulate business in “Duffy’s Tavern.” Drongowki gets to utter the immortal telephonic words “Duffy’s Tavern, where the elite meet to eat. Archie the manager speakin’. Duffy ain’t here. Oh, hi Duffy,” with which the show always opened. And Duffy never appeared in the decade that the show was on the air. Other cast members are Mr. Mooney as Eddie the waiter, Ms. Drongowski as man-crazy Miss Duffy, and Mr. DeWaard as the barfly Finnegan.
