Meeting Room 125/126 Combined

1950s comedienne Lucille Ball comes to life in this historical portrayal by historian and actress Leslie Goddard, Ph.D. We'll pay tribute to both the comic legend and the real woman behind the myth!

In the 1950s, comedienne Lucille Ball captured the hearts of television audiences across the nation. Her wacky hijinks and fearless enthusiasm kept thousands laughing. Offscreen, she and her real-life husband Desi
Arnaz launched their own television studio and pioneered new technologies. But what does it mean 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 legend and the real woman behind the myth.
