2018 After Hours at the Museum Events
March 7, 2018 After Hours Event
On Wednesday night March 7th the Antique Wireless Museum hosted the first in a bimonthly series of fun, entertaining and educational presentations. The sellout audience thoroughly enjoyed the comedy and music of a live radio show production performed by the West Bloomfield Congregational Church “Bloomfield Home Companion Players”. It was a nostalgic evening as we listened to live radio being produced complete with live sound effects and lots of great music. AWA wants to thank the cast of Teresa and Corey Keyes, Andrea and Robert Stein, Anna Boonstra, Barney Klueber, Karen Eskildsen, David Knight, and Bonnie and Robert Hobday for a fantastic show. A special thanks to the volunteer Museum Staff who hosted our guests and provided wonderful refreshments.
The audience enjoyed time in the museum before and after the show. Many requests were heard for a repeat performance.
