Be a Historical Character!

Amelia Earhart

In the 1950s, comedienne Lucille Ball captured the hearts of television audiences across the nation. But what does it means when a TV star’s onscreen legend clashes with her offscreen reality? This historical portrayal pays tribute to both the comic legend and the real woman behind the myth. (Please note: This is not a celebrity impersonation or a celebrity look-alike event. It's an entertaining and educational historical portrayal, exploring the life of Lucille Ball).
