New! Interactive Presentations
Join us on Central’s campus for interactive presentations where you engage directly with the material through short activities and group discussions.
How much do you know about your favorite 1950’s TV comedians? Follow their talented paths from vaudeville to television with movie roles and radio programs along the way. You’ll see how the Borscht Belt shaped TV comedy pioneers Milton Berle, Jack Benny, Sid Caesar, Lucille Ball, Red Skelton, and Jackie Gleason. Have fun with Waldemar “Wally” Kostrzewa to spotlight the comic characters who made us laugh each week. Hear those behind-the-scenes stories and test your memory about TV comedy trivia. Bring your funny bone and a friend to this 90-minute workshop you’ll talk about for days.
Talk & Workshop: 5:00 – 6:30
Coffee and dessert will be provided!
