America 1941

America 1941 is a cultural, musical, political profile of the US on the eve of World War II featuring music, verse, narrative, and humor. Although 1941 was a year that saw heartache in Europe, much of America went about its business oblivious to the world's growing trauma. In this riveting performance, you’ll experience:

• Song of year, “When You Wish Upon  A Star”
• Radio drama, “The Shadow”
• FDR’s fireside wisdom.
• The day of infamy

“Them that’s got shall get, them that’s not shall lose So the bible says, and it still is news.” 
—Billie Holiday, 1941
