Calendar of Events

Thursday, April 18 at 6:00 p.m. on Zoom

We recently conducted a live-audience slide show about what we’ve learned about standout local appearances by notable female performers, from Lillie Langtry to Sarah Bernhardt, from Ethel Barrymore to Marian Anderson, from Sophie Tucker to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, from Fanny Brice to Helen Hayes, from Ida Cox to Janis Joplin, with some Dolly and Taylor Swift thrown in for fun, using recently discovered advertisements and news articles, discussing where they were in their careers and what we know of their shows here, and the impact they made on Knoxville. We thought this one deserved an encore on Zoom, and we’ll do that on April 18.
