In 1928, Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill teamed up to produce The Threepenny Opera, based on the Berlin Stories of Christopher Isherwood. It was a huge stage hit, and this week we’ll have some of the original cast members performing their roles in historic period recordings of nearly a hundred years ago. Rudolph Forster sings Mack the Knife and Lotte Lenya is Pirate Jenny in Die Dreigroschenoper this Sunday at six.

Originally from central Massachusetts, Jay has called the Space Coast home for more than 30 years. He began his association with WFIT in the late '90s as a dumpster diver for office furniture in response to a broadcast plea for a new chair from a frustrated disc jockey. (WFIT has come a long way since.)
