Written by critically acclaimed playwright Ryan Paul James (The Comeback Kids, "The World's Worst Play Ever", and "Desperately Seeking Love") and Denny Siegel (House M.D.) and directed by Joe Dalo, Lost in Radioland is a comedy set in 1940's Hollywood. The biggest stars of the day have come together to perform the suspenseful, nationally syndicated radio show "Night Stories." Meanwhile Los Angeles is on edge with the breaking news that an escaped killer is on the loose. When on-set drama meets real life danger, who will survive?

This year's cast stars Keith Coogan, grandson of legendary Jackie Coogan, Claudia Wells (Back to the Future, Starship: Rising) and Melissa Disney, granddaughter of Toy Gallagher and cousin of Walt Disney. A guest celebrity will make an appearance at each performance. Keith Coogan (Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead) charms the dames as Jerry Berrymore, a lady's man in the vein of Jack Nicholson while Claudia Wells features her vocal talents as Shirley Adams, a perky spokesmodel. Melissa Disney (As Told By Ginger) reprises her role as Irene Savatory, a saucy, seasoned Hollywood icon a la Katherine Hepburn with a twist of Mae West. As a vocal bonus, Paul Pape (Frozen, Saving Mr. Banks) plays announcer, "Paulie P." – the "Voice of Hollywood."
