MHCC performing arts presents Radio Hour
Travel back in time with the Mt. Hood Community College performing arts division as it presents the musical “The 1940s Radio Hour” at the College Theater at the Gresham campus, 26000 S.E. Stark St.

Be the live studio audience for this radio program set during 1942. Hilarity ensues as the producer tries to maintain control of his radio program and deal with some larger-than-life radio personalities. Hear “Blue Moon,” “Black Magic,” “Boogie Woogie” and more hits from the decade performed by the talented cast of MHCC student actors. The production was first staged at MHCC in 2000 and is returning due to popular demand.

“The cast is outstanding,” said Rick Zimmer, director. “They have great instincts about singing and dancing, and they’re creating their own dance numbers. They’re pushing themselves, and it shows.”

“The 1940s Radio Hour” is showing on March 2, 3, 9 and 10 at 8 p.m. and March 4 and 11 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 general admission for adults and $10 for MHCC students and senior citizens. Call the MHCC box office at 503-491-7154 for special group rates or more information.

People requiring accommodations due to a disability should contact the MHCC Disability Services Office at 503-491-6923 or 503-491-7670 (TDD).
