Let’s pull back the curtain on the fascinating lives and careers of these “American” performing artists: a 100th anniversary/birthday celebration! In addition to learning about these artists’ personal and professional lives, we will also view performance videos and listen to their stories. One hour of history and entertainment each from Liberace, Nat King Cole, Howard Keel, Margot Fonteyn, Jennifer Jones, Gower and Marg Champion, Kitty Wells, Ernie Kovacs, Carol Landis, and Pete Seeger. Get ready for “mystery guests”, “name that tune”, and frequent trips “down the rabbit hole”!
