“ON THE AIR! is among the most unique and entertaining theatrical productions in Greater Palm Springs. The audience gets to relive, or experience for the first time, the thrill of theatrical radio that was the heart of America’s homes before television,” said Michael Shaw, artistic director.
Returning actor Gavin MacLeod commented, “I’ve talked to many people who have seen ON THE AIR! and they loved it! People were all saying how wonderful the show was!”
ON THE AIR! is presented by Title Sponsor – Desert Regional Medical Center; Show Sponsors – Lulu California Bistro and The Desert Sun; and Star Sponsor – Riviera Palm Springs.
