It's that time where we once again get to celebrate the old time entertainment, before TV, movies or radio. Vaudeville...the precursor to the variety show.
The thing that amazes me most about this yearly hadj to this event for my wife and I, is that my 17 year old son has looked forward to this every year.
The main difference this year is that they have a new headline act, instead of "Ian Whitcomb and his Bungalow Boys" (who are very good) they have "Janet Klien and her Parlor Boys".
Here's the lineup:
Opening the show will be
America’s enchanting ukelele chanteuse JANET KLEIN and her Parlor Boys
playing nostalgic music from the vaudeville era.
Then, live on stage will be:
Who's On First?
DAVIS & FAVERSHAM
Tribute to Abbott & Costello
Jovial Jaunty Juggling
BEEJAY JOYER
Masterful Manual Manipulations
Maestro of the Glass Harmonica
MICHAEL GREINER
Creator of Crystal Melodies
From Bulgaria!
STOIL & EKATERINA
Masters of Magical Transformations
True to the vaudeville genre, the evening concludes on the big screen with a Walter Lantz cartoon BROADWAY BOW WOW'S and Charlie Chaplin’s, 1916 comedy classic ONE A.M. starring the loveable tramp and to close, Buster Keaton in PARDON MY BERTH MARKS.
And if Lady Heather ever drops by, just to make her jealous, here is what we get in November:
Larry, Moe and Curly!
9th Annual Three Stooges ™ Big Screen Event!
We celebrate the 9th year of our popular “Stooge-fest,” a collection of five classic short subjects cherry picked from the Columbia Pictures’ vaults by our blue ribbon panel of Stooge-o-philes.
This year our theme will be:“Saving Private Curly... Stooges in Arms”
Each of the shorts has some sort of military or wartime theme.
I’ll Never Heil Again (1941)
Three Little Sew and Sews (1939)
Boobs in Arms (1940)
Uncivil Warriors (1935)
Fuelin’ Around (1949)
Plus there will be a surprise clip from a great Three Stooges™ film to cap off the program.
Come join us for the wacky Thanksgiving weekend event that has become a holiday tradition for Stooge fans of all ages.
