Join Charles Troy and Skokie Theatre favorite Charlene Brooks for this memorable presentation.

Badly needing a hit, Rodgers & Hammerstein decided to base their next show on an obscure new book of short stories by a first-time author named James Michener. The book subsequently won the Pulitzer Prize – and so did their show, an enormous success which put Rodgers & Hammerstein squarely at the center of American popular culture.
