Guest speaker and theater historian John Kenrick saw his first Broadway show in 1974. Join us as he shares some of his favorite showstoppers and personal memories from half a century in the audience and behind the scenes. Included are some rare videos - including footage of John fulfilling a childhood dream by asking Carol Burnett a question from the audience.

He has taught musical theatre history courses at New York University’s Steinhardt School, The New School University, and Philadelphia’s University of the Arts.
