Glad Rag Dolls: Talented Divas, Tragic Lives

Abused, addicted, uneducated, poor, mismanaged, Grammy winners, Oscar nominees, inductees into halls of fame. The eight 20th century women whose lives and music will be highlighted in these performances have many of these things in common. Some came from such lowly beginnings and had so many struggles in their lives, it is hard to believe that they accomplished anything at all. Yet they found their way onto stages, into recording studios, and into films and brought joy to audiences world-wide. Betty Hutton, Edith Piaf, Billie Holiday, and Judy Garland are just a few of these divas. Please come as we explore the lives and music of these women and more.
