SPOTLIGHT

Thursdays at 12:30pm, with a rebroadcast at 6:30pm

Welcome to "SpotLight", radio reveling in the Arts and Entertainment, here in Connecticut and beyond!  Join us as we discuss what's going on in theater, music, dance, art and who knows what - events that you should know about, events that you'll enjoy, events you can get to!  We'll talk about Hartford, New Haven, New York, and places in between; we'll chat with the people behind the scenes and we'll even have some tickets to give away!

Your host, Virginia Wolf, always wanted to be an actress (indeed, her family will testify that she has always been an actress), and while fate led her into a career in advertising, her love of the performing arts never disappeared.  So what fun to host a show that talks all about what she loves!   She'll give you a heads up as to what's coming, and clue you in to great things she sees, will search out events and entertainment that may not be highly promoted but are worth attending.

Don't miss the SpotLight on its regular day, Thursday at 12:30pm, with a rebroadcast at 6:30pm

Meanwhile, it should be easy to have fun, so check out the following links to entertainment to find out what's going on and to purchase tickets - all just a click away!
