Community Theatre of Howell is thrilled to announce the upcoming WCTH Radio Hour, featuring two captivating performances:
The Life of Riley – “The Mother -in-Law”
In this episode, the lovable but bumbling working-class family man, Chester Riley, faces comedic chaos when his formidable mother-in-law, Mrs. Stevenson, comes for a visit. Determined to assert himself as the head of the household, Riley's attempts to stand his ground backfire hilariously, leading to a series of misunderstandings and laugh-out-loud moments. The episode humorously explores family dynamics, with Riley ultimately learning a lesson about patience and respect.
The Thin Man Adventure Series – “The Case of the All-American Menace”
A young woman seeks the advice of Nick Charles in how to get away with murder. Nick and Nora then get notice that the potential victim is dead. However, things are never as simple as they seem.
Performance Date: Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 2:00 pm, plus a possible off-site performance to be determined

Keeping in the spirit of the Golden Age of Radio, we also feature show sponsorships! Most of America’s best loved radio serials were proudly brought to the airwaves, courtesy of their commercial sponsors. As we seek to faithfully recreate some of nostalgia’s beloved shows, we will mix in vintage commercials with sponsor commercials for local businesses, 1940’s style. We take your local Howell business back in time with us, and create an advertisement that radio land audiences will know and appreciate. Sometimes our jingle writers even come out of the woodwork!
