Raconteur Radio and the Borough Improvement League will present “The New Year’s Eve Twilight Zone Marathon: A Staged Radio Play & Party” on Dec. 31 at the Old Franklin Schoolhouse, 491 Middlesex Ave., Metuchen.
The event will start with food and drinks at 8:30 p.m., and the first of four staged episodes will begin at 9:15 p.m. There will be one intermission, during which actress/vocalist Danielle Illario will sing hits from the late 1950s, accompanied by pianist Arlan Feiles. It all ends at 11:30 p.m., just in time for a short stroll downtown for Metuchen’s midnight pyrotechnics.
Admission is $50. In part, proceeds will go toward the Old Franklin School, a historic 1807 schoolhouse and cultural center. Seating is limited. Advance purchase is strongly recommended.
