Event Details

In honor of Women’s History Month, celebrate the incomparable comedy icon Lucille Ball. In the 1950s, Lucy captured the hearts of television audiences across the nation. Her wacky hijinks and fearless enthusiasm kept thousands laughing. Off-screen, she and her real-life husband Desi Arnaz launched their own television studio and pioneered new technologies. But what happens when an onscreen legend clashes with her offscreen reality? In this historical portrayal, historian and actress Leslie Goddard brings Lucy to life, paying tribute to both the true comic genius and the real woman behind the legend.
