Lamplighters Community Theatre is proud to bring 'The 1940s Radio Hour', a play written by Walton Jones, to you this holiday season! A look into yesteryear with this nostalgic view of a live radio broadcast of “The Mutual Manhattan Variety Cavalcade”, from the Hotel Astor’s Algonquin Room on December 21, 1942. Experience the spirit of that bygone era when the world was at war and pop music meant “Strike Up the Band” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”. Watch as the harassed station manager copes with a drunk lead singer, a delivery boy who wants a chance in front of the mike, the second banana cabbie who dreams of singing a ballad, and the trumpet player who chooses a fighter plane over Glenn Miller. A perfect holiday show! The play will be showing from Friday, December 3 through Sunday, December 19 on the following schedule: • Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. • Sundays at 2 p.m. Get tickets here! General admission: $26 Student/Senior/Military admission: $23 Groups of 10 or more people: $20 per person For more information, please visit the Lamplighters Community Theatre website or call (619) 303-5092.
