The Senior Center November trip will be to the Milan Banquet Hall in Waukegan, Illinois on Thursday, November 12 to see “HEDDA! A Musical.” Prior to the show, participants will stop at the O & H Bakery in Racine to sample and purchase Kringles. Participants will leave from the Ice Arena at 8:30am and return at 4:30pm, subjective to traffic. The cost is $66 for members and $76 for non-members. 

“HEDDA! A Musical” features Hedda Hopper, a woman who had a broad and enduring effect on film and politics. Hopper ultimately brought a greater awareness for the art of motion pictures to the masses and was a pioneer for powerful women in all professions.

In a series of phone conversations, songs and chats with the audience taking place between 1944 and 1958, audience members learn of Hedda’s legendary feuds with Hollywood’s elite, the use of her column to promote her own political and moral agenda and more. Multi-faceted and funny, Hedda Hopper and her collection of outrageous hats was a force to be reckoned with!

Lunch will include a garden salad, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans almandine, lemon dill chicken, double chocolate cake, coffee and soft drinks.

All reservations and payments are due by Thursday, October 8. For questions or to register, call Janet McLean at 755-3040.

This trip is waiting list only. To be placed on the waiting list, contact Janet McLean. This activity at the Senior Center is open to individuals ages 50 and older.
