From the Studio: "Christmas on the Concourse" at Ignite Community Theatre

Marty Kittelson, president of the Ignite Community Theatre board, and "Christmas on the Concourse" composer Gary Edwards talk with Jim Tevenan about their world premiere performance of this show and its inspiration in Gary Edwards' time spent playing guitar in Spokane Airport during the Christmas season.  

After more than 25 years of teaching music, theater and English in San Francisco schools, Jim relocated to Spokane in 1995 to become organist/music director for St. Augustine Parish on the South Hill. Since around 2004, with the help and patience of Verne Windham, he has been able to realize his long-standing dream of doing radio. Jim specializes in classical music, but also can do the occasional jazz show. Jim and his wife, Carol, fill their free time caring for llamas, rabbits and chickens after having watched their two children grow up and leave the nest.
