Hotel Milwaukee Reunion 2010

Join us for the Hotel Milwaukee reunion, a special event taped on January 16, 2010, at the Turner Hall Ballroom. This comedy-variety radio program originally aired on Wisconsin Public Radio from 1994 to 2002 and brought together many of the original cast members, including Rip (Art Kumbalek) Tenor, Bill Clifford, Marcie Hoffman, Jonathan Wainwright, Mike Neville, and Jeana Stillman, who portrayed zany characters in the mythical Milwaukee hotel.

The reunion featured musical performances by Chicago’s Katie Todd Band, blues harpist Jim Liban, and the folk trio Terry Coffman, Tom Schwark, and John Will Balsley, along with the house band led by noted pianist Dean Lee and jazz singer Adekola Adedapo. The program was honored with a Golden Reel award from the National Federation of Community Broadcasters in 2001 for best comedy.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
