Walpole Radio Follies – 4/11/26

Walpole Radio Follies 2026

Ahh, April, the month with so many firsts; first baseball game, first chance to file taxes, first full month of spring! Come and celebrate all this and more with the Walpole Players at their annual Mud Season Radio Follies. Show date is Saturday April 11, 2026.

Is that tax filing deadline making you nervous? Find out how George Burns and Gracie Allen make their taxes add up. Want to catch up on the new baseball players? See how Abbott and Costello figure that out. Think spring is the perfect time of year to learn to drive? Let the Bickersons steer you in the right direction.

Director Judy Esptein has assembled a talented cast of familiar faces and first timers; see another first for April! For the cast, this is a low-pressure show; no need to memorize lines, but this is live, so anything could and usually does happen.

This is a cabaret style show so plan to bring an indoor picnic to enjoy before and during the show. The stage will be set at the Helen Miller Theater on the second floor of Town Hall. Show time is 7pm and the doors open at 6:30. You can get your tickets in advance at Masoma Savings Bank on Main St. We appreciate their help every year with ticket sales. Round tables comfortably seat 6 so get your friends together to reserve a table. Please check our Facebook page for updates. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday April 11.
