Toms River Seniors Invited To Revisit Radio Show Days

TOMS RIVER, NJ — The Toms River Senior Center is inviting residents to take a step into the past, back to the days when entertainment came into homes over the airwaves and the only screens were the silver screens of the movie theaters.

The Toms River Senior Center will present "All About Eve," an old-fashioned radio show performed live at the Senior Center.

"All About Eve" is a 1950s radio show based on the 1950 movie that starred Bette Davis as an "aging" Broadway star who befriends Eve, played in the movie by Anne Baxter, who then turns on her benefactor, scheming and bidding to supplant Davis as the queen of the stage.

The performance is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 11 at the center, 652 Garfield Ave., Toms River. Tickets are $5 per person and include refreshments. Transportation is available, officials said.

"Please sign up and pay in the office, cash only," the flyer for the event says.

The Toms River Senior Center can be reached by phone at 732-341-1000, ext. 8460 or 8461.
