McConomy Auditorium
This year for Homecoming, Scotch ‘n’ Soda presented 1940’s Radio Hour, by Walton Jones. The show takes place during a live broadcast of W.O.V., a local 5,000 watt New York City radio station. It centered around 14 performers and their attempts to make it to the big time, as seen through the eyes of a 1940’s radio station studio audience. This nostalgic trip down memory lane included such songs as “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”, “Ain’t She Sweet”, and “Blue Moon.”
The show was a huge success, generating standing-room only crowds in McConomy Auditorium for both performances. Congratulations to everyone for this wonderful start to the 1998-99 season!
