Albert Einstein portrayed by Larry Bounds
Jun 10 @ 11:30 am
Centre Stage

No on site parking. FREE. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Come early to get a seat. Doors open at 10:30 am.

Albert Einstein was the most influential physicist of the 20th century. His ideas fundamentally changed our understanding of the nature of the universe. Newton’s ideas of absolute space and time were upended by Einstein’s concept of space/time – a universe in which, if there was no matter, there would be no space and no time.

Einstein was no ordinary international celebrity. Charlie Chaplin once explained to Einstein why the scientist was often welcomed with applause by saying, “They cheer me because they all understand me, and they cheer you because no one understands you.” But, in truth, Einstein was able to make his revolutionary ideas understandable to the most advanced scientists and, albeit to a lesser degree, the general public.

Lucille Ball portrayed by Leslie Goddard

In the 1950s, comedienne Lucille Ball captured the hearts of television audiences across the nation. Every week, some 11 million families tuned in to watch I Love Lucy, the CBS sitcom starring Ball and her real-life spouse Desi Arnaz. Her wacky hijinks and fearless enthusiasm kept thousands laughing. Off-screen, she and Arnaz launched their own television studio and pioneered new technologies, building a production empire. But even as her celebrity stature soared, Ball sometimes struggled with the divergence between the onscreen Lucy Ricardo and the real-life woman offscreen. In this historical portrayal, historian and actress Leslie Goddard brings Lucille Ball to life, paying tribute to both the true comic legend and the real woman behind the myth.

Ruth’s power and charisma revolutionized the game, setting records with his prodigious home runs, including a then-unprecedented 60 homers in the 1927 season. His larger-than-life personality, combined with his on-field prowess captivated the nation in the Roaring Twenties and made him a national icon and one of the first true American celebrities.

A master of self-promotion, Ruth embraced the media and new technologies to become a household name.

Her given name was Freda Josephine McDonald. Her nickname was “Tumpy.” At 13, Tumpy left home to be in the theater. By the time she was 19, she was a veteran of the stage, twice married and the star both of the stage and of high society in Paris. She kept the last name of her second husband, Billy Baker. She had become Josephine Baker.

Josephine Baker loved to be loved. She loved “her people” in the United States and she loved France. She served France during World War II in the Resistance and as a spy. She demanded civil rights for black US citizens and was the only woman to speak at the 1963 March on Washington. She adopted 12 children of various ethnicities, The Rainbow Tribe. She counted presidents, sheiks, princes, dictators and artists as her best friends. She owned a chateau, earned millions and then lost it all. But she never lost the love of her people or her two countries – the US and France.
