From the Studio: Spokane Civic Theatre Presents "The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge"

This morning we had the Spokane Civic Theatre in the studio to preview "The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge", a special holiday comedy opening this weekend. Director Chris Taylor, producer/costume designer Kearney Jordan and cast members Bryan Durbin and Ron Weakes talked with Verne about the family-friendly play which takes place a year after the events of "A Christmas Carol" and has Scrooge suing Marley and the Christmas ghosts for breaking and entering.  "The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge" will from December 9-18 at 7:30pm Thursday - Saturday, and 2pm on Sundays at the Spokane Civic Theater.  Tickets and more information available at the Civic Theater's website.

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.
