Description

Journey back to the golden age of television to learn how this classic was created. Discover how it grew out of Lucy’s radio program, “My Favorite Husband.” Explore production techniques pioneered by Desi Arnaz, including the three-camera concept. And delve into the life stories of Lucy, Desi and cast members Vivian Vance and William Frawley (who were not the original choices for Ethel and Fred Mertz). Remember the candy factory? Stomping grapes? Vitameatavegamin? These episodes all have fascinating back stories.

Registration is required. Ages 18 and up only.
