Take a sentimental journey with the Kentucky Historical Society at the premier production of Rally ‘Round the Radio:  Wartime Music Hour on the Kentucky Homefront.  The dinner theatre performance will be held on Friday, November 4, at 7:00 p.m. at the Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History in Frankfort.

 

“You’ll experience the excitement of a ‘live’ radio broadcast,” says Greg Hardison, KHS museum theatre coordinator, who created the production using actual transcripts and original correspondence from World War II soldiers to their loved ones back home in Kentucky.  Big band musical numbers keep the performance lively and poignant under the musical direction of Jay Flippin.

 

Dinner theatre tickets are $25 for members of the Kentucky Historical Society and $35 for all others.  Advance reservations are necessary as seating is limited.  Call 502-564-1792 ext. 4414.
