Longwood Alumni Take Over the Studio & Henry’s Time Mystery – The Call Flo Show! February 20, 2026

Описание: 🎙️ Welcome back to The Call Flo Show on WFLO AM 870!

It’s Friday, February 20th, and this episode is packed from start to finish. From a special in-studio alumni panel celebrating Longwood Theatre to Henry’s classic one-liners and a fascinating “missing day” story from the Bible, plus birthday celebrations, open phone lines, national days, and a full Southside weather forecast — this is live, local radio at its finest.

🎭 Longwood Theatre Alumni Spotlight – Generations of Talent

The studio was full as four Longwood Theatre alumni joined the show for a major alumni weekend celebration. Representing multiple generations of the program, the guests shared stories from Jarman Auditorium days to the C-STEM/Black Box era, reflecting on how the department shaped their careers.

They discussed:

• Performing in productions like The Cherry Orchard, Hamlet, Barefoot in the Park, The Mousetrap, Twelfth Night, Chicago, and more
• The transition from Jarman to the newer theatre spaces
• Careers in acting, directing, teaching, costume design, and technical theatre
• Working professionally in regional theatre, television, commercials, and film
• Balancing creative careers with teaching and mentoring

From Richmond theatre stages to television appearances on shows like The Walking Dead: World Beyond and Dopesick, the conversation highlighted just how many career paths exist in theatre — both onstage and behind the scenes.

The panel emphasized one major takeaway for students: Yes, you can build a career in theatre.

🎬 Teaching, Tech & The Business of the Arts

The discussion went beyond acting and into:

• Costume design and shop management
• Teaching theatre at the high school and collegiate levels
• Auditioning in the modern self-tape and Zoom era
• Commercial acting as “the bread and butter”
• The reality of preparation, sweat equity, and backstage work

It was a full-circle moment for alumni returning to pour back into the next generation of Longwood students.

📞 Henry Calls In – Jokes & A “Missing Day” Mystery

Henry delivers a full lineup of classic wordplay and one-liners before sharing a story he saved since 2003 — detailing a fascinating claim about NASA computers discovering a “missing day” in recorded time, tying it to passages in the Books of Joshua and 2 Kings.

Whether you’re listening for laughs or for thought-provoking reflections, Henry never disappoints.

He closed, as always, asking for prayers — a reminder of the personal connections that define The Call Flo Show.
