The All Hands On Deck! Show is a 1942 Roadshow & Radio Broadcast reproduction featuring a Live 9-piece Big Band that fills your hearts with 42 of the greatest American songs ever written including Chattanooga Choo-Choo; Atchison, Topeka And The Santa Fe; I’m In The Mood For Love; Pennsylvania Polka; I’ll Never Smile Again; Any Bonds Today?; Don’t Fence Me In; America The Beautiful; Deep In The Heart Of Texas; Thanks For The Memory, and a powerful Military Medley – a full-circle salute to America and to our servicemen and women!

Pemberville native and 1989 Eastwood High School graduate Jody Madaras created, directed, and also stars in The All Hands On Deck! Show along with Branson cast members Valerie Hill (Les Miserables), Scholl, and Beth Conley (“I’ll Say She Is” Off-Broadway musical). With nine of the best jazz musicians in NW Ohio, including fellow Eastwood graduates Michael Sander (chair of Fine and Performing Arts at Owens Community College) and Keith Hamen (Director of Bands, Lake High School), The All Hands On Deck! Show brings Pemberville a fun-filled, true-to-life reproduction of the kind of USO show Bob Hope and Jack Benny would have taken to the troops 65 years ago: classic humor and great music from those special days of road shows, war-bond drives, and radio broadcasts.

Inspired by the Hollywood Victory Caravan – a group of famous film stars who toured America by train in 1942 selling war bonds – The All Hands On Deck! Show has captured the hearts of veterans of all ages, active duty servicemen and women, and audience members young and old. The All Hands On Deck! Show offers a musical message for all Americans celebrating the American way of life, and reminding us of a time when our country was fully united. It reminds us of what’s right about our country.

The All Hands On Deck! Show currently performs in Branson, Missouri at the Dutton Family Theatre.
