Bullets and Ink: A Man's Spin On Life

Doyle Wheeler approaches life just like he does pens; everything is possible. Throw anything his way and he will make it work for him.

The first lathe Wheeler ever received was from his father. He tinkered with it off and on, not really committing to the craft but enjoying the rhythm of turning a pen. The first ones he ever made became Christmas gifts for family and friends but he insists they weren't any good.

It's what every budding artist – excuse me, craftsman – would say of their early work.

Craftsmanship is in Wheeler's blood. His grandparents built their home in Spokane from the ground up.

G.I. Holiday Jukebox

Set during WWII, Christmas time, the show features four fictitious Hollywood stars who put together a string of 1940's hits and Christmas music to entertain "the boys" at the front.  Filled with great holiday music and comedy, the show is reminiscent of the USO shows. 

The cast sings some of the best music of the twentieth century, including tributes to The Andrew Sisters, Bing Crosby, Spikes Jones and many more.

The show is being presented by the Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre at the Coeur d'Alene Resort, 115 South 2nd Street, Coeur d'Alene. The show runs from November 23 to December 25 with performances on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30pm with a matinee show on Sundays at 3pm.
