“ A pleasant jaunt back in time ”

Back Stage

“ Wholesome fun for the whole family... ”

Orange County Register

Imagine Anaheim before the Mouse…
… a small ranching town where the police chief himself patrols downtown at night, the high school football team is front-page news and everyone pitches in to save the oranges on a frosty night. Join the cast and crew of radio station KANA for an evening’s broadcast in Anaheim circa 1953. This light-hearted, high-energy variety show captures a community inspired by unforgettable real-life characters as can only be found in a small town. It’s our salute to Anaheim’s history and the people who made it possible.
