The performance will include a glimpse of the drama of the working-class

and longest running radio programs, Stella Dallas (1937-1955), was
created by the husband and wife team of Frank and Anne Hummert.

in Lambertville until 1973 with her husband, was the voice of Stella
Dallas and a member of Lambertville's Kalmia Club.
This event has been organized by Hunterdon Radio Theatre and the
Kalmia Club. The Lambertville Station is donating the venue and
crudités. A cash bar will be available. Proceeds from ticket
sales will be donated to local charities.
The Kalmia Club is a women's non-profit civic organization dedicated
to providing opportunities for education, leadership, and community
service to its members. The oldest continuously running women's
club in New Jersey, Kalmia Club is a member of the NJ State Federation
of Women's Clubs and the General Federation of Women's Clubs.

contemporary radio theatre and to advance public knowledge of radio
theatre. HRT strives to entertain and educate a diverse audience,
many of whom have been unable to have any other contact with theatre
but for whom radio is accessible.
