WAR BONDS: The Songs and Letters of World War II
Friday, Nov. 8, 2013
5:30 p.m. dinner, 7:15 p.m. show • Rumph Dining Room
WAR BONDS: The Songs and Letters of World War II is a musical journey
through a war that redefined the world. The show’s light hearted,
popular tunes of the time are interspersed with personal letters from
the front and headline news of the period: a warm reminiscence and a
harrowing reminder of a time when the whole world seemed upside down.
Come at 5:30 to enjoy a ’40s theme dinner at the 1940’s Home Front
Canteen and stay for the show.
Award
winning artists David zum Brunnen and Serena Ebhardt fill the stage
with wartime memories and tunes. Actual veterans’ stories create a
sentimental journey back through the days when blackouts and rationing
were a small sacrifice in order to obtain freedom. A time when Rosie the
Riveter discovered she could take care of herself; a time when
African-Americans, who were segregated at home, integrated abroad to
became heroes; and when a man’s only wish was to be home for
Christmas. War Bonds: The Songs and Letters of World War II explores the
dark side of war and the strange juxtaposition of the lighthearted,
popular tunes of the time. Musical Director Julie Florin recreates a
nostalgic score of familiar tunes. Twenty-two songs of the period lift
the mood—even as the atrocities of war are described. This family show
allows the “greatest generation” to celebrate, as the next greatest
generation contemplates.
Whether you remember WWII, you’re sure to enjoy the evening.
