From the Studio: Spokane Civic Theatre Academy Presents "High School Musical"

It's time for the kids of the Spokane Civic Theatre Academy to shine this month when they take on the Disney 'instahit' High School Musical. Director Andrew Ware Lewis visited the studio along with Music Director Drew Olsen and lead actors Brady McGruder (playing Troy) and Josie Brett (playing Gabriella).  High School Musical opens this Friday, July 22nd at 7:30pm and runs through Sunday, July 31st.

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.
