Radio Show December 2011

Amateur Community Theatre of Rowlett performed their annual 1940's old-fashion radio show for the seniors at Christian Care Center; main performance was for the alzheimer wing at 2 p.m.

As the Christmas music began to play, the residents started tapping their feet and began to sing! It was a wonderful sight to see their face's light-up to Christmas classics such as, Gene Autry's "Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer" and Burl Ives' "Have a Holly, Jolly, Christmas."

Joan and Becky got into the spirit and started to sing along with them:

We finished up the radio show with "Who's On First." As we packed up our equipment, we wished everyone there a Merry Christmas, smile's all around. But mainly from us. You see, something special happens when you give of your time and talents to others. It is a joy that no gift can give.

For your enjoyment we have online our radio show Click Here!

Merry Christmas!
And a Happy New Year!

1951 Radio Show


Almost Show Time
Originally uploaded by ACTORTX
The Rowlett Historical Society had their meeting on January 17, 2011. ACTOR presented the radio show "The Bickerson's"

Everything went fairly smooth except for Eric. He had some problems with the sound effects. Eric was quoted as saying "I think I'm having a Lyle moment."

Everyone in the audience seemed to enjoy the show. The program lasted about 30 - 40 minutes.
