Don and the other members of Those Thrilling Days of Yesteryear will present two shows with the theme "Will You Wait for Me?" on Sunday, January 22. One recreated radio show features Dennis Day trying to choose between An Acting Career or a Girlfriend. The second show tells a True Story from Hollywood about an actress keeping an appointment she made with a man ten years earlier.

 Admission is free and all are welcome to the Oak Park Arms to be part of the "studio audience." For more information, see ttdyradio.com.

Sprocket Websites features the combined talents from two previously independent companies:  J&S Tech Designs and Gnu Ventures Company. Gnu Ventures was founded in 1996 by Don and Kate Gingold who joined the Naperville Chamber of Commerce almost immediately after incorporating.They have been members ever since and will be honored by the Chamber for fifteen years of active membership on Monday, January 23, at the General Membership Luncheon.

Don, one of Sprocket Website's managing directors, will be performing as part of Those Thrilling Days of Yesteryear, a radio theater troupe, on Sunday, December 18 in Oak Park, Illinois.

Those Thrilling Days of Yesteryear will be presenting a recreation of the 1947 radio broadcast that saw Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed reprising their movie roles. This free performance is open to the public and gives people an idea of what it was like to be in the studio audience during the original show.

TTDY has been performing in Oak Park for ten years with Don joining the troupe in 2006. For more information see TTDYradio.com or OakParkArms.com.

Don will be performing with Those Thrilling Days of Yesteryear in a live presentation of "It's a Wonderful Life" by Those Thrilling Days of Yesteryear. The show will held at the Oak Park Arms in Oak Park on Sunday, December 18 at 2:00pm.

The beloved movie was released in 1946, but twice during the following year, Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed again played George and Mary for radio audiences.

The voice actors from Those Thrilling Days of Yesteryear will recreate one of those radio performances complete with music, sound effects and commercial breaks just as if you were a member of 1947's studio audience.

The TTDY troupe has been performing at Oak Park Arms for a decade and in honor of this ten year anniversary, they are giving a show every month this season, each one dedicated to raising funds for a different local not-for-profit. December's show will benefit the Life Long Learning Center.

"It's a Wonderful Life" is free and open to the public. For more information about the show or the Oak Park Arms, contact Jill Wagner at 708-386-4040.
