Return to the era when families gathered around the wireless set for “theater of the imagination.” The Ocean County Library’s Toms River branch will host a live presentation by When Radio Entertained People on Wednesday, Aug. 21 at 7 p.m.

You’ll be treated to a music and a trivia contest prior to the performance, which will feature episodes of “Dragnet,” “Father Knows Best” and “Baby Snooks,” complete with sound effects.
