SUMMARY:South Pacific - A Multimedia Presentation on South Pacific
DESCRIPTION:South Pacific is one of the greatest works of musical theater ever created. Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein’s masterpiece combines a unique and fascinating story of American nurses and GI on a remote island during World War II with an unforgettable score and powerful lyrics. Add in lavish costumes\, a beautiful set\, and fabulous staging\, and something unforgettable evolves right in front of the audience’s eyes. This multimedia presentation on South Pacific will help you more fully appreciate this work of genius. \nHowever\, South Pacific is more than just an outstanding musical. The story is powerful as it launches a broadside against racism in America. Like Hamilton\, this is a work of genius that transcends musical theater expectations and attempts to influence the country’s political discussion. South Pacific is romantic\, suspenseful\, and often very funny. At its core\, this was a personal statement against racism and prejudice by its extraordinary creators. Click here to read why this story was personal for Oscar Hammerstein II. Two different characters\, both white Americans\, realize that their love for non-white Asian people dooms any chance of returning to a bigoted America in the 1940s. Beloved by critics and the audience\, the show was nonetheless divisive and controversial with some conservatives! This multimedia presentation on South Pacific will reveal its authors’ motivations and intent. \nThis multimedia presentation traces South Pacific’s backstory\, beginning with author John O’Hara’s wartime experiences and brilliant book of short stories that became the basis for the musical. \nWe will look at excerpts from the stage musical and film versions to explore the history and impact of a Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece of the Broadway stage. Come for the music and stay for the amazing story! \n

SUMMARY:Dorothy Kilgallen
DESCRIPTION:Dorothy Kilgallen is best remembered today as a somewhat flinty regular panelist on the game show\, “I’ve Got a Secret.”  \nHowever\,  this groundbreaking woman was a pioneer in journalism. And her role in attacking the conclusions of the Warren Commission became enormously important and highly controversial as Americans began to question the conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin of Pres. Kennedy! \nDorothy Kilgallen was the first woman in America ever to be a full-time murder reporter. She broke numerous major scoops and often made national headlines with her fearless coverage of criminal trials. \nWhen Dorothy Kilgallen learned that a male newspaper reporter was going to try to break the record for the fastest trip around the world\, Dorothy Kilgallen decided to challenge him to a race. The world became fixated on the “modern-day Nellie Bly.” Her exploits not only made Kilgallen famous but were even fictionalized in a  major Hollywood movie!  \nThis fame led her to New York and a position as both a serious reporter and a catty gossip columnist covering Broadway. Her unique career led her into a major feud with Frank Sinatra\, put her in a position to break open the Notorious and controversial Sam Shepard murder case\, and to leak the story of Marilyn Monroe’s affair with Pres. John F. Kennedy. \nLong before America met her as a game show panelist\, Dorothy Kilgallen became the first mainstream newspaper Porter in the country to question the Warren Commission. She endlessly attacked them\, always hinting that she knew more than she was saying at the moment. When she died under very mysterious circumstances\, many people concluded that she was murdered to shut her up about what she knew about the assassination of JFK. \nI PROMISE that you will find surprises around every corner as Dorothy Kilgallen’s life is revealed. Throughout this fascinating multimedia presentation\, we will learn the unexpected\, unparalleled\, and definitely unique story of the life and death of the amazing Dorothy Kilgallen. \nRegistration and the program are completely free!  CLICK HERE
