Come face to face with a Hollywood legend. A woman decades ahead of her time, Miss West was all charm, wit and grit -- she called her own shots, wrote her own material, and never let a man put anything over on her except an umbrella.
This tribute features rare songs, jokes, history and Hollywood gossip, along with the best audience interaction you'll ever see. Here's your chance to meet the most quoted woman in history, a true American original.
Burkhalter performed on stages in New York, Chicago and Houston for years before founding Characters To Go, providing entertainment for seniors, corporate events and parties. She writes and performs shows for all ages, including her popular Remember When musical nostalgia series and Tribute to Mae West.
This event is just one example of a variety of programs and activities presented by The Summit of Uptown. Guests are encouraged to arrive early or stay late for tours of the newly renovated retirement community. Parking is always available in the City’s central parking lot and the Uptown lot across the street.
