­With two successful seasons under their belt, Crazy Club Productions is excited to begin its third season of Life Under The Horseshoe, a one-hour “old time” weekly radio show.

­The stage at Victory Hall was graced by some remarkable performances last season. Their generosity in sharing was appreciated by all who listened and attended.

­Director and main writer for shows, Lawrence Gardner has been busy collecting ideas and stories for the new season. He meets weekly with a writing team where they toss around story elements and work together to offer the best there is in radio show entertainment for listeners and friends who attend the live performances. He is always keeping an open call for any new writers who are interested in joining the team.

Musical directors Mark and Vicki Allen have been searching far and wide for new musical guests to perform on the shows and find no shortage of talented individuals and groups who are sure to delight everyone out there in radio land, or those who come and find a seat in Victory Hall. Anyone interested in sharing a talent are encouraged to contact Vicki at (435) 602-9787.

Costume designer, ticket office gatekeeper and “jack of all office duties” Lana Gardner is currently keeping things in order and setting up new systems as well as contributing practical ideas on running a tight ship and in all other aspects of the show.

The team couldn’t be happier or more excited to be starting another season of Life Under The Horseshoe. Though season dates have changed slightly, the Saturday evening start time will continue to be 7 p.m.and will still be broadcast on KMGR, 95.9 or 102.7.

If someone is in an area that is not reached by KMGR, they can always go to the website and click the link to “listen live” on Saturday. If people happen to be visiting the great little town of Spring City this summer, stop in and catch an episode of Life Under The Horseshoe, it will be well worth the time.

­Victory Hall

Victory Hall, home of Life Under The Horseshoe is a 100-year-old vaudeville house that is on the National Historic Register and has recently won the Utah Heritage Foundation Award for restorations.

It is worth making the trip to Spring City just to see this picturesque old theatre. And, while there, check out the Spring City Inn, a 100-year-old rock cowboy hotel next door, also on the National Historic Register, that has been turned into a Bed and Breakfast.

This facility is open to the public as well as used to house the talent that performs in Victory Hall, just like it did a century ago. Moreover, these and many historical homes and other buildings are located in the middle of this rich pioneer heritage town, also on the National Historic Register, the entire town.

Some are well-known but most are just making their way to stardom. The following is a list of those who have graced the stage of Life Under The Horseshoe.

­Mission/Vision.

The mission of Crazy Club Productions is to have fun and more of it. While at it, their vision is to become the leader in “old time” radio shows by utilizing top quality production values and talent to entertain and lift the spirits of the audience.

­History

In the fall of 2001, the Gardners purchased Victory Hall and set about to restore this 100-year-old vaudeville theatre to its former glory. It took nearly 12 years as, over time, the hall had been reduced to nothing more than warehouse space.

Sometime later the Allens purchased the old Allred Hotel next door and turned it into a bed and breakfast. The two couples became acquainted and learned that they all had careers in the entertainment industry.

One night Mark came to Lawrence and said, “I need a writer and a director.” Lawrence asked, “Why?” And Mark said, “Because I want to start a radio show in your hall.”

­Writers for Crazy Club include head writer Lawrence Gardner, Amy Shepherd, Randal Thatcher, Larry Campbell, Ellie Walker, Marla Workman, Maria Ricks and Vicki Allen.

The crew is made up of Lawrence Gardner, director; Abe Chapman, head soundman; Lois Jackman, head lightman; Linda Jensen, piano/organ background music; Debra Krout, script assistant; Dave Fullmer, special effects sound; Danny Jackman , stage manager and Lana Gardner, box office manager.

Drama cast members are show host Mark Allen; Lori Youngblood; Brett Blackham; Brigham Blackham; Brittnie Sorensen; Carmen Anderson; Casey Lamb; Dawna’ve Funk; Gatlin Jordan; Jerri Fuhriman; Larry Campbell; Malachi Compton; Randal Thatcher; Sherri Pritchett; River Hinkle; Robert Peel; Gabby and Van Potter.
