A salute to TV’s favorite variety shows from the 70’s
A DON AND RHONDA PRODUCTION
OPENING NIGHT PARTY: Sunday, November 19 – PARTY 6:00 pm / SHOW 7:00 pm
WITH AN OPEN RUN EVERY MONDAY – 7:00 pm
The 1970’s were a time of change. Television (the “Boob Tube”) was still relatively new, and producers were trying to wean people away from the big screen. Variety shows became a staple of American Television. Anyone that was “someone” got their own television variety show! Think back to the time when you and your family sat in a one-television home and enjoyed the shows of Sonny & Cher, Laugh In, Smothers Brothers, Captain & Tennille, Tony Orlando & Dawn, Donny & Marie, …. and so many more.
Well, these unforgettable variety shows have made an indelible impression on our hearts. We hear a familiar tune being sung by one of our favorite 70’s artists, and that warm, fuzzy feeling returns. We instantly recall the time and place where we first heard that song. We find ourselves humming the tune and can’t get it out of our heads.
“Boob Tube” is a show that will transport you back to those magical 70’s! Don Pope and Rhonda Padmos return to the Main Stage with their live band, playing the songs that you love. This show is a nostalgic trip down Memory Lane.
