MAHALIA, the musical based on the life and career of legendary gospel singer, Mahalia Jackson, returns to the Old Log Theater where it premiered and played to full houses and standing ovations 19 years ago. Since then it has had a very successful national tour to over 50 cities. This moving, humorous musical traces the life and career of the world’s best-loved gospel singer. The granddaughter of plantation slaves, Mahalia Jackson was a humble woman whose expressive fullthroated voice took her from her birth in a threeroom shanty, to appearances before presidents and royalty. The joy and inspiration of her heartfelt song provided the musical counterpoint to the urgency of Martin Luther King’s message and the entire civil rights movement. Before the play, enjoy a delicious lunch with your choice of entrée: Chicken Divan with spinach, mushroom and ham in a cream sauce, smoked Windsor pork chop, walleye pike almandine, beef stroganoff or vegetarian lasagna. Please indicate your choice when registering. Please register by 2/18/13. WHEN: TIME: FEE: CODE:
