Join the NYC Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS) this March for a special Women’s History Month virtual presentation.
In January 1978, Rockefeller Center president Alton Marshall announced that Radio City Music Hall would close its doors that April and was slated for demolition, shocking fans worldwide. Determined to prevent this from happening, a group of the Music Hall employees, fans, dancers, and politicians banded together to save the theater.
On March 13th, join Rosemary Novellino-Mearns, the former president of the Showpeople’s Committee to Save Radio City Music Hall as she shares her firsthand account of the three-month struggle to reverse Rockefeller Center’s decision.
Using archival media coverage and personal anecdotes, Rosemary will discuss how she and the Showpeople’s Committee fought in a David-and-Goliath battle to preserve the iconic theater for future generations.
