Glamour, Glitz and Radio Skits is set for 4 p.m. on Nov. 22 at the Edmond History Museum, a 90-minute live variety show that puts 1940s theatrical skits and crooner music in the same afternoon as ballet and a veterans' choir.
What makes the afternoon more than a nostalgia title is who shares the bill. KGOU's community calendar places the show at the museum and describes an original Oscars parody, Jason White appearing as Frank Sinatra, a segment of Oklahoma Ballet Theatre's 2026 Nutcracker, a small veterans' choir and paintings made by veterans.
What the Bill Actually Includes
Local actors will perform the theatrical skits. KGOU's breakdown includes a teen comedy, a movie drama and that Oscars parody, with crooner music in the program rather than parked off to the side.
White's turn as Sinatra is the casting note with a name on it. The skits themselves are credited to local actors.
Oklahoma Ballet Theatre's piece is a segment from its 2026 Oklahoma Traditional Nutcracker, not the full holiday production. The company's Nutcracker page says those 2026 performances will feature live music by the Oklahoma Community Orchestra and vocals by the Edmond Youth Chorus. Those names belong to the ballet's own run. The museum listing does not put the orchestra or the youth chorus on the Nov. 22 stage.
A Longer Radio Habit
Radio reenactment is already a habit in this building. Mid-America Arts Alliance reported that the Edmond History Museum had produced 25 shows inspired by the Golden Age of Radio since 2018, and called the performances a surprising draw for veterans, military families and other community members.
The alliance also described USO-style variety shows with a live emcee, local musicians and comedy. In 2025, 70 people attended a local cast's show about saving metal and paper for the troops.
On its own site, the museum calls the 1940s Radio Theater a national award-winning series hosted there and directed by Barrett Huddleston. A listing for The Haunted Radio Station describes a 75-minute show of local musicians and actors reading historic radio scripts and adding original material. Animal Antics is listed as a performance reading of three animal-themed comedy skits from the Golden Age of Radio, with musical interludes on an 1892 Reed Organ temporarily loaned from the University of Central Oklahoma's Laboratory of History Museum.
Veterans on the Program
Nov. 22 puts veterans on the program, not only in the audience the alliance described. A small choir of veterans will perform, and paintings created by veterans will be on display.
That sits beside another Edmond effort KOCO reported: local artists guiding veterans through painting, mixed-media art and voice acting, supported by a Creative Forces grant. The grant classes and the Nov. 22 display are separate accounts. One is instruction. The other is a choir and veterans' paintings at a variety show.
