The talented cast of the Galveston College Theatre Department will bring back some
of the most popular radio programs of the 1940s for their upcoming virtual production
of “The Vintage Radio Hour.”
The virtual performances, originally set for Feb. 19-21, have been rescheduled because
of power outages resulting in technical delays in production. New show dates and times
are Friday, Feb. 26, at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 27, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Feb.
28, at 2:30 p.m. There is no charge for access to the online events.
Please contact Galveston College Program Coordinator for Performing Arts Liz Lacy
via email at [email protected] for the link to listen to a performance.
“Before the era of computers and television, radio provided entertainment by presenting
programs of mystery, intrigue, comedy and romance,” said Lacy, director of the show.
“Please join us for ‘The Vintage Radio Hour’ and enjoy these nostalgic programs.”
Company members include Dorion Alcantar, Eva Arita, Elijah Barrie, Daniel Bourque,
Alyssa Gudz, Benji Shelton and Cricket Smith.
Galveston College’s award-winning Theatre department stages up to five productions
each academic year. Its fall virtual production of “The Invisible Man” was one of
only 11 productions from colleges and universities throughout a five-state region
invited to be presented at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival Region
VI Festival 53, which will be produced virtually this month.
