As the play opens, radio host Dave Dunlap is set to begin his first day as the host of Madhouse, a call-in talk show on a tiny FM station. This is Dunlap's last chance in radio; his career peaked years ago and has been declining because of alcoholism and post-traumatic stress disorder, the result of military service in Vietnam.
On his first night at work, it becomes apparent that one of the show’s regular callers is planning to kill herself. Deciding that involving the police will push her to suicide, Dave attempts to save her life by organizing his very colorful call-in listeners over the radio.
Part of Villagers Theater's New Playwright Series, the reading is directed by Donna Stiles. It is free and open to the public. The reading begins at 7 p.m. April 15.
Villagers Theater is located at 475 DeMott Lane, Somerset. For more information, visit Villagers Theater's website.
