Classic American Musicals | Lighthouse Cinema, Pacific Grove (Closed)

Course Description:

The period between 1940 and 1960 was a vibrant one for the American Musical Theatre. In contrast to the “revues” and “follies” of the early 20th century, these musicals had plots where the action moved forward via acting, singing and dancing. Subjects expanded to include exotic locales, the immigrant experience, spousal abuse, and racism. Join us for an extensive look at this “Golden Age,” when musicals were forever changed. We'll focus on musicals created by the famous team of Rodgers and Hammerstein. We'll meet at the historic Lighthouse Cinema in Pacific Grove for films on the big screen with concessions available for purchase (real popcorn anyone?).

Thank you for your enthusiastic support of this offering. Although the theater seats 150, we are holding attendance to 90, to make sure you have ample room to sit back and spread out.
