Sixth Street Theater & Melodrama in Wallace Idaho will open their summer season July 5, 2017 with the melodrama Bad Business at the Brewery, or Who Botched Bessie's Brew?

Verne also talked to Sixth Street Theater & Melodrama's board president, Paul Roberts and with Brady Bourgard who will direct From Wallace with Love, a spy-spoof melodrama opening in August.
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.
