From the Studio: Ignite! Community Theatre Presents "Fireflies"

Spokane Public Radio

The cast of Ignite! Community Theatre's production of Matthew Barber's "Fireflies" visits the studio to discuss the show and perform a preview. Kim Roberts (Eleanor Bannister) and Theresa Kappus (Grace Bodell) play retirees in a small Texas town, and Dan Griffith (Abel Brown) plays a drifter who has the whole town talking.

"Fireflies" opens Friday, February 14, at 7:30 PM and runs through March 1. https://www.igniteonbroadway.org/blog/about-fireflies.

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.
