SVSU student Jayla Gaskins, of Detroit, to perform in 1940s radio show-style holiday stage production

2016 Nov 28

Saginaw Valley State University student actors and vocalists will collaborate again for the school's annual live radio show-style production, "Christmas of Yesteryear: A 1940s Radio Show."

This one-hour play will relive the hope, the determination and the patriotic celebration of the holiday season during the post-World War II years. The production is a callback to the days when Americans sat around the radios in their homes, waiting for information during and immediately following World War II.

SVSU student Jayla Gaskins, of Detroit, will perform in the production. Gaskins is a communication major.

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 30-Dec. 1, in the Malcolm Field Theatre for Performing Arts. Tickets cost $13 for the general public, and $10 for both students and attendees 60 and older.

Ric Roberts, professor of theatre, and David Rzeszutek, assistant professor of theatre, are co-directors.

The cast will include student thespians along with students involved in SVSU's Cardinal Singers vocalist group. This production will mark the seventh year SVSU has hosted a live radio show-style performance in the theatre.
