The 1940's Radio Hour
by Walton Jones
Feb. 8-11 & 15-17, 1996
Directed by B. Michael Quale
Musical Director- Renae Rike-Nehring
Sponsored by Western Dakota Medical Group
This Broadway hit accurately captures the spirit of that bygone era when the world was at war, television was something from science fiction, and pop music meant the "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" and "Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy"- both of which are among the memorable songs in the show. The music and magic of radio's finest hours are relived in this delightful musical comedy.
