From the Studio: Spokane Civic Theatre

Spokane Public Radio

“Elf, the Musical” Director Kathy Doyle-Lipe, Music Director Henry McNulty and actors Aiden Else, Seth Flanders, Emily Gjovik, David Hardie, Sara Linn and Katie Wee from Spokane Civic Theatre came to the studio to spread some Christmas cheer and talk about their upcoming production, based on the much-loved 2003 film. It tells the tale of Buddy, a young orphan who is raised by elves, and his quest to find his birth father and discover his true identity.

Performances will be at 7:30 PM on November 23 & 24 and 2 PM on November 25, with more shows each weekend through December 23.

This play is suitable for all audiences.

Verne Windham got his start at Spokane Public Radio 20 years ago. “I came in to complain and they hired me.” He’s now the Program Director, as well as the host of Morning Classical and Concert of the Week. When choosing music for Morning Classical, Verne likes to keep the agenda as broadly defined as possible. For Concert of the Week, he focuses on the best of recent local performances, mostly classical in nature. For many years, Verne was also the conductor of the Spokane Youth Orchestra. He enjoys gardening, his vintage car and playing French horn.
