Circleville Ohio's own Ted Lewis, "The High Hatted-Tragedian of Song", was one of the most popular entertainers of the 1920's, 30's and 40's. This show will 
recreate Lewis' 13-piece big band and revue using his original 
arrangements.  This will be the first time these historic arrangements 
have been performed in over 40 years!
