The second course of today's three-course theater meal was provided by members of Spokane Civic Theatre. They were happy to chat with Verne and preview their upcoming performance of "White Christmas." Yes, I know what you're thinking, "It's too early for Christmas!" Not for all these theater and performing groups, though. They've got a lot of rehearsing and planning to get in before their shows open shortly before or after Thanksgiving (which is only two weeks away, wow!), so Christmas, here we come.

Jean Hardie directs this performance run of "White Christmas," and she was joined in the studio by singers Kathie Doyle, Tami Knoell, and Kayla Mueller, who were accompanied on the piano by Henry McNulty. The show opens November 20th and runs through December 19th.
