| The 1940's Radio Hour - Book by Walton
Jones September 23, 24, 30 and October 1, 7, 8, 2005 at 8:00 pm Let us take you on a sentimental musical journey back to a bygone era as you watch this "live"
broadcast from a small radio station in 1942. A marvelously theatrical and winning musical featuring
such hits as "Blue Moon," "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" and "I'll be Seeing You."
Our audience goes behind the scenes to take a thoroughly delightful historic journey into a past when
radio was king.
This witty and heart-warming comedy is the story of four spirited senior citizens
who dote on their successful grandson, Nick. Nick dutifully shows up every week for
Sunday dinner with his grandparents despite their unsolicited advice, matchmaking,
general meddling, and unending food from his four Italian-American grandparents, who
provide all the guilt, exasperation, and love that comes from being a member of any family.
March 31 and April 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 2006 at 8:00 pm A hilarious, expertly constructed farce that capitalizes on two stereotypes - the romantic,
overly emotional Italian and the larger-than-life world of opera. The planet's reigning heartthrob
tenor (the Italian) is scheduled to make a rare appearance in Cleveland and that city's opera
fanatics are all aflutter. That ageless comic device of mistaken identity plays a central role
here and a genuine romance is also a part of the fast moving and entertaining story.
This musical tells the tale of The Plaids, a 1950s male singing group who were killed on their
way to their first big gig. Through some cosmic miracle, they come back to earth for one last
chance to fulfill their dreams of fame and fortune. This review features some great songs of the
1950s: "Catch a Falling Star," "Three Coins in the Fountain," "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing,"
"Sixteen Tons", "Magic Moments," and many, many more.
Another musical journey through the Fabulous Fifties -- The Taffetas is a singing group of four
sweet sisters from Muncie, Indiana. After years of singing in the church choir and for local Rotary
Clubs, the sisters are finally getting their first big break on a live TV show. This very special
musical celebrates such favorite popular tunes as "Mr. Sandman," "Johnny Angel," "I'm Sorry," and
"Where The Boys Are." The 1940's Radio Hour and Lend Me A Tenor produced by special
arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. |
