The Armed Forces History Museum proudly announces “On the Air – A Tribute to Bob Hope and the Radio Stars of the 1940s: Jack Benny, Red Skelton and Jimmy Durante” presented by Bosley & Bratch – Lawyers for Veterans, on Friday, February 3, 2017 at the Kapok Special Events Center in Clearwater, FL. A raffle, silent auction, free hors d’oeuvres, cash bar and mingling with vendors will take place from 5pm to 6:45pm. Show time is from 7pm to 9pm and includes an intermission. The Armed Forces History Museum is joining with Lifestyles After 50, a senior lifestyle magazine, to bring this event to Pinellas County. Walgreens will provide each attendee with a free gift bag upon exiting the event.
The show is staged as a 1940s NBC radio broadcast complete with an on-stage staff announcer, reading vintage commercial copy of the period with a humorous touch, presenting recorded jingles of the era. The interaction with Hope and his legendary radio and movie guest stars, Skelton, Benny and Durante, is a comedy music-filled trip back to the golden age of entertainment.
