Calendar Events for July 27, 2010
When: Tuesday, July 27
Where: Highlands Playhouse
What: The Andrews Brothers
Showing through Sunday, August 8
Andrews Brothers opens at an afternoon rehearsal for a USO show in the South Pacific. Max, Lawrence and
Patrick Andrews are rehearsing with pin-up girl Peggy Jones for the big show that night. What Peggy doesn’t know
is that the brothers are really just the stagehands for the show – her back-up singers didn’t arrive in time, and the boys were recruited by the Major in charge to fill in where needed. Just as they assume all will work out well, a
radiogram arrives with the news that the headliners for tonight’s show, The Andrews Sisters, have been held in
quarantine in Hawaii. The show must be cancelled. Unless, of course, there’s a way for the Andrews Sisters to
appear...Mistaken identities and madcap adventures (imagine Bing Crosby & Bob Hope in a road movie of 'Some Like It Hot’) along with the music of an entire generation highlight this wonderful valentine to the heroes of World War II.

What: CLE:THE SEARCH FOR THE CURE TO INSANITY
When it opened its doors in 1861 on the eve of the Civil War, the Alabama Insane Hospital was the most
progressive mental institution in the country. Founded on the principal of moral architecture established by Dr.
Thomas Kirkbride and the humane treatment of patients advocated by Dorothea Dix, the hospital became the first
fully realized example of a system that used environmental conditions as part of a curative treatment for mental
illness. This discussion will explore the remarkable achievements of Dr. Peter Bryce, the first superintendent. We will also examine what went so terribly wrong in the 20th century when the same institution became the national emblem
of failure.
