From the Studio: The Modern Theater Presents "'Night, Mother"

This morning, we were visited in our studios by members of The Modern Theater Coeur d'Alene to discuss their new show, the 1983 Pulitzer Prize winning play 'Night, Mother. Verne talked with director Susan Hardie and cast members Emily Jones (Jessie) and Marianne McLaughlin (Thelma).   'Night, Mother opens on Friday, October 21 at 7:30pm. Schedule and ticket information available fromThe Modern Theater.

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.
