Gotta Move! Streisand in the 60s (CA298)

CA – Performing Arts (Appreciation)

Was she a kook or an unpolished gem? No one was quite sure when 18-year-old Barbara Streisand won a talent contest and a job at a Greenwich Village gay bar in 1960. Sixty years later, after losing an “a” and winning multiple Oscars, Grammys and Emmys, Barbra is a living legend. This class takes us back to where and when her legend began.

This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
