STILL ROARING is a full cast audio presentation, fully dramatized with music and sound effects. Full of nostalgia and humor, it follows the story of Rosylyn DeMarco, a dancer and actress in Vaudeville. When the play begins the time is now. Rosylyn is old— very old. She reminisces with Buddy Jr., the Cable Guy, about the Roaring Twenties and her Vaudeville days. The time switches to then, and a fresh-faced young Rosylyn steps off the bus and into a new life in New York City. She befriends Buddy the Milk Man, and goes on to appear on stage, become a dancer on the Orpheum circuit, and star in the flickers. When the time is again now, Rosylyn and the Cable Guy wrap it up with some surprise revelations.

Still Roaring is performed by Open Book Theatre Members Lane Bradbury, Bella Ferriera, James Rana, Robert Carroll and Jon Koons.

Live jazz and ragtime music provided by Metamorphic Winds.
