Flywheel, Shyster, & Flywheel
The Marx Brothers’ Lost Radio Show
May 21, 2012 | 8PM |
 Flywheel, Shyster, & Flywheel is the hilarious comedy show that introduced The Marx Brothers in 1932 on NBC Radio. Groucho is the wisecracking attorney Waldorf T. Flywheel, and Chico as his ne’er-do-well assistant. Since these broadcasts were aired in the days before radio shows were recorded, the crazy shenanigans and classic routines were lost. But now, these shows are brought back to life for the first time in decades. Created by young writers Nat Perrin and Arthur Sheekman, who also worked on the scripts for the classic Marx Brothers comedies, Monkey Business and Horse Feathers, audiences of all ages will delight in this fun, laugh-out-loud comedy!

“At Wit’s End” by Joel Kimmel
Starring Chuck Muckle as Oscar Levant
June 11, 2012 | 8PM |
 He was the “enfant terrible” of radio and television shows of the 40s, 50s and 60s, the second-banana costar of classic films from AN AMERICAN IN PARIS to THE BARKLEYS OF BROADWAY to THE BANDWAGON. He was an accomplished musician, author and bon vivant; the darling “bad boy” of mid 20th century American popular culture. In this biopic production, starring Chuck Muckle, Oscar Levant shares his stories, his music, fears, aspirations, struggles, and joys in this rollicking, musical, comic, and compassionate look at the life of this great composer, pianist, comedian, author, raconteur, eccentric, and hypochondriac.
