Synopsis "Fantasy & Music"

Set in the nostalgic 1940's, this play within a play is romantic, patriotic and comedic. The actors are not as optimist as the characters they play in the lighthearted musical, Radio Rhythm. The backstage drama includes a married couple who have lost their careers and romance, an alcoholic, an aging ex-vaudeville performer and two youths with big dreams but doubts about their talent. The actors learn from their spunky counterparts that the show must go on...and adversity so must they.
