Received the following information from Eddie Carroll, the writer and performer of the one-man show, Jack Benny: Laughter in Bloom:

I’m on the Board of Directors of the Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters here in LA and they are planning to build a Radio Archives Museum to house all of their radio memorabilia, adjoining the library in Thousand Oaks.

So, to start fund for the project, I agreed to do a benefit Matinee Performance on Sunday,Oct.19th. WELLLL…….!! That 2:30 matinee performance sold out, so I have added a second performance for 7:30 PM that evening.

HOWEVER…, the box office at the Scherr Theater in the Thousand Oaks Arts Center AND Ticketmaster screwed up and didn’t have the info about the added show for a week! So, people who called for tickets were told that show was sold out and weren’t informed that there was a second show.

There [are] indeed tickets still available for the evening show on Sunday Oct.19th.

If you’re in the area, you really do not want to miss this; it benefits a great cause, and if you haven’t seen Mr. Carroll “channel” Jack Benny, you have no idea how spot-on his performance is. For a tiny example, photos of his performance at last year’s Friends of Old-Time Radio convention are posted here on the blog - a small piece of video there, too.
