About the Show
The first time this original show was presented by the New Thalian Players, amazing reviews and comments were received on this fresh, funny, and sometimes nostalgic show. The premise is a USO fundraising event for US Troops in World War II where popular stars join together to raise money by selling War Bonds.
1944 characters like WC Fields, Bob Hope, Mae West, The Andrew Sisters, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole and more entertain with comedy routines, songs, radio dramas, and wonderful commercial jingles that spark memories of the early days of entertainment. And everyone leaves with a renewed patriotic pride in the USA. A truly original, special, and wonderful show!
