This blog post is in anticipation of the As the Stage Turned – The Front Row Theatre program at Willowick Library on Tues., Nov. 11, 6:30 – 8 pm.
Jeannie Emser Schultz, the venue’s longtime former director of marketing and publicity, has written a memoir capturing the star power and draw of the Front Row. Her narrative takes readers on a detailed and behind-the-scenes firsthand journey of the almost 20-year history of what was considered one of America’s most significant entertainment venues. Register here.
Many stars- and some politicians- graced the stage of the Front Row Theater. Check out them and their work with these recommendations. Titles on Hoopla are available for immediate streaming/download:
