NO SOAP RADIO: Jack Benny, ”No One Remembers Jack’s Birthday”

NO SOAP RADIO: The Jack Benny Program, "No One Remembers Jack's Birthday"

Our 4th NO SOAP RADIO production was created in February, 2023 and premiered at the 3rd annual Jack Benny Convention. This is a recreation of the 1955 Lucky Strike Program starring Jack Benny - "No One Remembers Jack's Birthday". We chose this particular program to spotlight one of our actors, Victoria Gordon. Victoria’s grandfather, Al Gordon, was one of the writers on this show. Al was part of Jack Benny’s writing staff for many years and also had a very successful career writing for many TV sitcoms and variety shows throughout the 1960’s, 1970’s and 1980’s.

This show was produced, directed and edited by Paul Kovit.
