Its premise focused on middle class couple Donna Stone (Reed), a housewife to pediatrician Alex Stone, played by Carl Betz. The couple had two children together, Mary (Shelley Fabares) and Jeff (Petersen). In the radio theater original episode, Mary has a date with Scotty, and Jeff, as usual, is trying to ditch his math and English homework for a game of basketball with his friend Smitty. Donna and Alex have their hands full trying to keep “those kids” under control. The production then moves into a macabre episode of “The Addams Family,” with Gomez and Morticia keeping the whole family in “stitches.” In this episode, young Pugsley has an “explosive” aptitude for chemistry, while Gomez goes “ga-ga” over Morticia’s mastery of the French language. The 91.1 Players in these comedy classics are headed by Rene Thomas, Terry Lawler, Cameron Spencer, Jill Jensen, Vittoria DuMez and Andrew Potter. The comedy episodes are written by co-executive producers Steve Brown and Michael Ullstrup, and the director is Terry Lawler. Food and beverages will be available at Café 91.1, a full-service coffeehouse located in the atrium of the building.
