Hello, my name is Tom Reagan and for years, I broadcast a daily entertainment show on the radio and now I have put those memories into my new book entitled "After Dark Entertaining Stories. There are,  and were a lot of entertainers that did a great job of entertaining various audiences .  Some did it well and some not so well.  You'll come away from reading my book saying "I didn't know that."

I was a member of the New York Drama Desk, the Outer Critics Circle of New York,  as well as both the American Association and the International Association of Theatre Critics which gave me a certain amount of credibility and special insights for over 20 years in radio.   Additionally, I always used the simple criteria   "Is the show worth the price of the ticket." I was honest either way.

Why I'm writing this book

I'm writing this book because I discovered many important facts about major and minor entertainers which most people had no idea existed,  by reading the standard fan magazines and other publications.  Human sides came out and I was constantly amazed at things I learned by being non combative and just listening rather than talking.

INTERESTING READING IS AHEAD

It was years in the making.  All kinds of people I came in contact with would say.."That'sinteresting, you ought to write a book."  So I started by telling the world I was writing and looking for financial support.  I wrote stories about the shows such as Norbert Alemans "An Evening at La Cage" that ran forever at Bally's Park Place featuring MC Danny Windsor who did a female impersonator in this show about female impersonators.  What was really neat about Windsor was the fact he was either the Mayor or a City Councilman in the town of New hope Pennsylvania (a Philadelphia suburb) when he wasn't on stage  .A very personable entertainer and a wonderful Ethel Merman.  Or how about Hill Street Blues Robert Prosky who starred with Sam Waterson of Law and Order fame in the Broadway Production of "A Walk In the Woods".    Prosky didn't want to talk about the broadway show initially, but rather wanted to vent about the poor air service between Cape May County and New York as he had a home in South Jersey.  These are just a few of the human tidbits I uncovered that I want to share in my book if only I could get backing.  So, this is your chance to find out some human interest facts about the names that are fast disappearing from the footlights.I even have some thoughts about the performances of George Burns to pass along.  I even have a few gems about the many times I reviewed Joan Rivers.  Give it a chance and you may even find your name in the book lights.
