Late October through mid-November, the Sunnyvale Community Players will be performing The 1940s Radio Hour, a musical about a time when the world was at war. With songs such as "Blue Moon," "I'll Be Seeing You," "Black Magic," "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," "Daddy" and "Love is Here to Stay," performers capture the spirit of the 1940s through the eyes of a radio station audience.

The show runs from Oct. 25 through Nov. 17, with performances on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Performances are staged at the Sunnyvale Community Center Theatre, located at 550 E. Remington Drive in Sunnyvale. The nonprofit organization is seeking more volunteers; those interested can call Debbie Keller at 408.255.8496.
