Experience F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel The Great Gatsby as a staged radio play from Raconteur Radio with period costumes, vintage commercials, Golden Age radio equipment, and more at the Princeton Public Library on Tuesday, April 22 at 7 p.m.

Raconteur Radio stages theatrical presentations of vintage radio plays, classic works of literature, and pop culture parodies for live audiences. Raconteur Ventures is an extension of the legendary Raconteur, a bygone brick-and-mortar bookstore on Main Street in Metuchen.

This event is part of a series held in collaboration with Princeton University’s Firestone Library to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the publication of The Great Gatsby in 1925. 

Registration is required at princetonlibrary.libnet.info .

Princeton University Library and community partners have planned a suite of on- and off-campus programming inspired by the library’s significant Fitzgerald- and The Great Gatsby-related holdings. For a complete schedule and more information, visit this link.

This program is offered as contribution to the 2025 Being Human Festival (US)‘s exploration of landmarks. This collaboration between the Princeton Public Library and Princeton University, “Centennial Landmarks of Literature and Cinema in Princeton” brings into focus Princeton’s legacy as a center of literary and cinematic culture during the last century.
