Thanksgiving and Christmas Shows almost seemlessly delivered
The Old Time Radio Theater had a truly wonderful set of shows for the two winter Holidays. The Thanksgiving show was the Great Gildersleeve and Burns & Allen. Two turkeys and a duck graced the stage along with the players to offer up some good laughs and some sweet ahh moments. It was a nice show, even with the stubborness of an uncooperative gramophone.
The Christmas show we just wrapped up was our rendition of "It's A Wonderful Life." We had a full cast, 13 or more, and a nice sized audience. It went very well, and with a surprise visit from Harry Potter too. The show was our gift to the community. We are also giving half of our donations from the last two shows to the Frazier Park Boy's and Girl's Club. It will be a princely amount thanks to the generosity of our good citizens. And those same generous folks were not only generous with their money, they were generous with their laughs and heartfelt sighs throughout the show. At every shout, yippee, rock crashing through glass, chorus of Auld Lang Syne they were really listening and enjoying what was offered. We are very grateful. It will be no hardship after New Years Day to unload our equipment and offer up some more fun to those who get a kick out of this unique form of entertainment. Yippee!
