Seattle theater troupe revives radio classics Good evening. Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ships at sea. . .Ah. there's good news... The Hult Center returns to those thrilling days of yesteryear Sunday night, when the Seattle-based Bathhouse Theatre pays tribute to the Golden Age of Radio in "The Big Broadcast." "Broadcast” is a rollicking musical chronicle of American radio from 1920, when KDKA of Pittsburgh became the country's first commercial broad casting station; to 1950, when the in creasing popularity of television hastened radio’s decline. Members of the Bathhouse Theatre portray such radio luminaries as Billie Holliday. Jack Benny. Bing Crosby and Ed “Texaco Fire Chief' Wynn. Popular dramatic and comedic characters, such as The Shadow, Fibber McGee and Molly and lack Armstrong, become flesh and blood on stage. Always true to the medium, the troupe accents the production with classic radio commercials. News bulletins take the audience to Pearl Harbor. V-J Day, the sinking of the Titanic and the liberation of Buchenwald. An actor portraying CBS newscaster Edward R. Murrow re enacts Murrow's famous wartime Christmas broadcast from London. “The Big Broadcast” takes the air — oops, stage — at the Hull Center at 8. Tickets are $4.50, $5.50 and $6.50, with student discounts available. Tickets are available at the EMU Main Desk, the Hult Center box office and all Hult Center ticket outlets.
