The 1940’s Radio Hour

The only thing edgy about this show is the creases on the men’s pants, which makes it a perfect holiday production. It’s a mix of swing-tinged standards and holiday classics, as well as some slice-of-life moments and an advertisement or two. Artistic Differences adds a little energy and a lot of vocal talent to an otherwise lightweight show. Th 7pm; Fr, Sa 8pm; Su 2 & 7pm. Through 12/27. $18-$20. Artistic Differences at the Studio Theatre, 1028 R St.; (916) 708-3449; www.artisticdifferences.net.
