Brooklyn Theatre Company presents 'WCKY,' April 19 - 21

         The Brooklyn Theatre Company presents “WCKY,” where murder and mayhem collide in hilarious fashion as a new radio station is preparing to air its first show in 1939. The play was written by Flip Kobler and Cindy Marcus and is under the direction of Josh Gerard.
             The production is slated for April 19-21 in the Brooklyn Opera House. Showtimes are 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.
             The production is produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Denver, Colo.
Synopsis:
           As the Clementine Sisters are about to sing the opening jingle, the action behind the scenes is infused with both excitement and drama. Head writer Roy plans to propose on air to assistant director Polly. One of the radio actresses, Sarah, has helped him procure a ring, and of course, Polly walks in just as Roy is down on one knee practicing his proposal with Sarah. When Sarah ends up dead a few minutes later as she’s about to make her own shocking and unscripted announcement on the air, all signs point to poor Roy.
By the time the night is over, two other on-air talents have also been murdered, and each time, Roy is the prime suspect.  It’s up to our creative writer to solve the mystery himself and reveal the actual killer through a live radio broadcast!
       “This is probably the most ambitious play I've ever directed in conjunction with the Brooklyn Theatre Company,” noted Gerard. “It's a big cast, and almost everyone is onstage all the time. It's packed with jokes and mystery, and I think everyone is going to love it, so come on out and support local theater.”
