Once in a Lifetime
Author: Moss Hart, Christopher Hart, George S. Kaufman Narrator: Edward Asner, Jeanie Hackett, Jon Matthews, Jonathan Silverman, Caroline Aaron, Jen Dede, Sarah Rafferty, Katharine Leonard, Joe Liss, David Kaufman, Kellie Matteson, Steve Vinovich AudiobookIt’s 1929 as The Jazz Singer hits the silver screen and the talkies promise to change movies forever. Enter three down-and-out vaudevillians who hatch a hare-brained scheme to “make it big” in Tinsel Town. Their plan? To open a voice academy for the witless stars of silent movies. The only things standing in their way are ditzy starlets and power-hungry movie moguls. Starring Edward Asner and directed by Moss Hart’s son, this is top-of-the-bill screwball comedy and Kaufman and Hart genius at its very best. Adapted by Christopher Hart.
