From the Studio: The Modern Theater Presents "Last of the Boys"

The second group of "Theater Wednesday" comes to us from The Modern Theater - Spokane. These cast members represent the upcoming production of Last of the Boys, which opens this Friday, February 19th at 7:30pm and runs through March 6th. Verne had the chance to talk with actors George Green, Chasity Kohlman, and Nathan Patrick Nelson about the show, which takes place shortly after the Vietnam War and explores the aftereffects of combat on soldiers that returned.

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.
