Before the days of iPads and laptop computers and TVs being available almost anywhere you looked, there was one form of entertainment that all ages enjoyed: radio.

"The 1940s Radio Hour," presented by the Capital City Players, is a musical comedy tribute to the days when the whole family gathered in one room to be entertained by radio programs. This is also a family affair for those putting on the play.

Directors Gail and Frank Bise directed and acted in this play years ago.

"You can bring your 5-year-old to this and they'll be entertained," Frank said. "You can bring your teenager to this and they'll be entertained. You can bring your grandparents and they'll be thrilled."

Performances will take place April 12-15 and 19-22 at Shikles Auditorium, 1200 Linden Drive.

Matinee shows will be on April 15 and 22.

The $30 tickets include dinner and the show. For ticket information, call (573) 681-9012.
