A tribute to the music of World War II. Where could a GI enjoy the best big bands, dance with the ladies, and rub elbows with the stars of Broadway and Hollywood? Only at the Stage Door Canteen. Bette Davis served the desserts. Marlene Dietrich and Lauren Bacall danced the night away. Red Skelton told the jokes and Bing Crosby crooned. The guests were the steady stream of GIs headed off to war. Many were leaving home for the first time and the Canteen offered a welcome opportunity to forget their anxieties — if only for a time— with entertainment, fellowship and a little American spirit. A reception will follow the performance. Suggested Donation: $10.00 The Shirley Meeting House |
