The Rat Pack – Icons Of Cool

July 5, 2016 @ 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM

 

The Rat Pack On Stage

The Rat Pack – Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Junior, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop – were the embodiment of cool for a short period of time in at the end of 1950s and into the very early 1960s. Their hipster talk, bravado, machismo and libertine lifestyle were an enormous influence on their times. Although the five of The Rat Packthem were only together as a group for relatively short period of time, their influence far outlasts their duration. Film clips, anecdotes, amazing stories and fiery personalities come together to make an unforgettable presentation!

In this fun, fascinating and fast moving multimedia presentation, we will look at the individual history and collective importance of the members of the Rat Pack. Each man has a compelling story – and collectively their impact has never been equalled. 

As an added bonus, click here to read the fascinating story of how Frank Sinatra became a champion of Civil Right!
