Wilson's witty and
stylish musical of the Jazz Age is set roughly in 1926
on the French Riviera at Mme. Dubonnet's fashionable
finishing school. Polly, a millionaire's daughter falls
in love with Tony, a delivery boy, who naturally turns
out to be the son of Lord Brockhurst. To hold Tony's
interest, Polly pretends that she is a working girl.
Complicating matters are Polly's girlfriends (all also
looking for a boyfriend), Mme.
Dubonnet (quite a flirt herself), and Tony's parents who
arrive, unannounced, in Nice. A good-humored, tuneful
and affectionate valentine to the innocence and high
spirits of the Charleston, cloche hat and short skirt
days of the 1920's, The Boy Friend is a delightful spoof
of the old-fashioned operetta-- all to a flapper beat.

Explore Dziga Vertov's
early experimental take on "Soviet Reality" through his
film Chelovek S Kinoapparatom (The Man with a Movie
Camera). Made in 1929 to support Vertov's film theories
about nonfiction film and his belief that the "camera"
eye would take the viewer to places heretofore
inaccessible to the human eye. Please join host Ted
McKosky as he takes a look at this whimsical film
bursting with every camera trick imaginable. February

by Keith Reddin
directed by Dr. Lee VanDyke
Moliere's "The
Imaginary Invalid" has been reimagined by playwright
Keith Reddin as "The Perpetual Patient". In 1900, when
patent-medicine quacks and snake-oil salesmen roamed the
land, a hypochondriac wants to marry his daughter to a
nerdy doctor's son. Reddin's adaptation will be mounted
by Radford University's Department of Theatre & Cinema in a Virginia
premier production of the piece sparkling with fast
paced humor and old fashioned farce.
