QUESTION: In the past the Goebel Center has offered two Sunday afternoon events – the History Comes Alive Series and the Music Comes Alive Series. Do you know if these programs will be offered this coming season?
ANSWER: Yes, both of these very popular programs will be available for the 2018-2019 calendar.
History Comes Alive will open the 2018-2019 series on Sunday August 19th with Gene Perret who will share his stories of working with Phyllis Diller and Bob Hope. He will also talk about his travels around the world with Bob Hope.
The next in the series will be on Sunday November 18th. The SoCal Sisters Swing will present both a historical and musical tribute to the Andrew Sisters.
On February 17th Jacqueline Berger will enlighten the audience with “A Historical View of American’s Famous and Important First Ladies.”
The 2018-2019 History Comes Alive series will conclude on Sunday May 19th with Modenia Kramer inviting the audience to a “1910 Suffrage Meeting with Activist Dolly Gray”.
This series sounds like another good year of entertainment – with something for everyone – humor, music, a peek at the famous and history. All sessions are from 3:00 to 4:30 pm.
The 2018-2019 Music Comes Alive series will open on Sunday, September 16th with a Neil Diamond Tribute – “The Neil Affair”. This tribute will knock you out of your seats as you listen to all of Neil Diamond’s famous hits. However,I have been told this event has already been sold out.
The series will continue on Sunday December 9th with the “Elvis Christmas Show.” Raymond Michae, a world known Elvis impersonator, and his Blue Christmas show will put you in the holiday spirit early.
The Beatles & Beyond will perform on Sunday March 17th and you will be entertained with the Beatles top hits and John’s and Paul’s single hits too.
The Music Comes Alive Series will close on Sunday June 23rd with Ronny & the Classics entertaining the audience with oldies but goodies from the great 50’s, 60’s and beyond.
Enjoy another great series with music for everyone. What could be better than Neil Diamond, Elvis, the Beatles and music from the 50’s and 60’s. All sessions are from 3:00 to 4:30 pm except the Elvis Christmas Show which is from, 4:00 to 5:30 pm.
Tickets for both series are currently on sale at Goebel’s front desk. Tickets are $5.00 per show. For more information call Goebel at (805) 381-2744.
