John H. Hunt II Chesapeake History Forum
Chesapeake author and historian Kate Livie returns to Historic Christ Church for a presentation about the “Chesapeake’s Showboat,” The James Adams Floating Theater. From 1914 to 1941, The James Adams Floating Theater enchanted riverside small towns and cities throughout the Chesapeake’s tributaries with theater productions, musicals, and other entertainment. Long after its circuit was abandoned for motion pictures, the legacy of the magical little showboat lived on in the memories of its audiences. Livie will share images, stories, and history about the Floating Theater, its national impact, and the ways it shaped life in the Chesapeake for almost 30 years. Enjoy craft cocktails, fresh seafood, and other culinary delights at this special evening of history and storytelling that honors longtime HCC&M volunteer and friend John H. Hunt II.
Tickets: $75.00.
