Senior students in Eastern Washington University's theater department are celebrating the end of their degree programs with a final capstone project in the form of the playFlowers for Algernon. Directed by faculty member Dahveed Bullis and featuring students Chris Mudd, Eli Drushella, and Jake Lathom, this play (adapted from the novel by Daniel Keyes) follows the rise of genius Charlie Gordon. Flowers for Algernon runs June 2-4 at the Eastern Washington University Theatre.
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.
