In the 1940s, as WHOI staff worked long wartime hours, they found joy and laughter performing in the lively Woods Hole Follies stage shows of 1945–46.

Welcome to the 1940s! A time when World War II was underway in Europe and Americans were filled with hope and the beginning of a new era. While working long hours on wartime and post-wartime projects, WHOI staff blew off steam by performing in 1945 and 1946 stage shows called the Woods Hole follies.
