Gather ‘Round the Radio brings back old-time radio shows

The Community Players of Greene County invite area residents to “Gather ‘Round the Radio” for a trip back in time when radio brought a new world of entertainment to homes across the county.

Attendees should bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating. There is no admission charge, but free will donations will be accepted to help the Community Players cover costs of the next production.

Persons who are unable to attend “Gather ‘Round the Radio” but would like to provide financial support to the Community Players can send a check to the Community Players of Greene County, PO Box 103, Jefferson, IA  50129.
