There’s still time to experience the thrill of Alfred Hitchcock’s storytelling at the Lake Wales Little Theatre. This weekend wraps up their engaging production, Vintage Hitchcock: A Live Radio Play. It’s a unique celebration of the suspense that made Hitchcock a household name.
The show takes you back to the 1940s, presenting Hitchcock’s classic themes—spies, murder, and romance—with the charm of a live radio broadcast. Picture the excitement of a daring train chase, the chill of a serial killer’s shadow, and the tension of an explosive climax, all created with live sound effects and vintage commercials.
Hitchcock, known as the “Master of Suspense,” directed legendary films like Rear Window, North by Northwest, and Vertigo. His ability to build tension and keep audiences on edge remains unmatched. In fact, a recent survey by the American Film Institute showed that over 80% of film students cite Hitchcock’s techniques as a major influence in their storytelling approach.
The remaining performances this weekend include shows on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and a final matinee on Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets can be reserved on the theatre’s website.
If you’re in the area, the Lake Wales Little Theatre at 411 North Third Street offers a cozy setting, and there’s ample free parking nearby. Don’t miss this chance to relive the intrigue and excitement that made Hitchcock legendary.
