From the Studio: Spokane Civic Theatre Presents "A Streetcar Named Desire"

This morning we were visited in our studios by members of Spokane's Civic Theatre, talking about their upcoming production of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire.  Director Troy Nickerson and cast members Alyssa Day, Nichole Dumoulin, and Billy Hultquist discussed their experiences working on the 1948 Pulitzer Prize winning play and we were treated to a special sneak-peak of the show as Day (playing Blanche Dubois) and Dumoulin (playing Stella Kowalski) performed a short scene. 

A Streetcar Named Desire will run from October 28 to November 13. Information and tickets available at http://www.spokanecivictheatre.com/a-streetcar-named-desire/.

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.
