Event Details

The Livingston Public Library invites the public to our In-Person Senior Happening on Friday, November 18th at 1pm featuring “Fred Astaire Lecture-In-Song” performed by Fred Miller. 

Fred Astaire was  universally acknowledged not only as film’s greatest dancer but also one of its greatest singing actors. Born in Omaha, he initially partnered with his older sister Adele, where the young duo attained a glamorous stardom on both the London and New York stages that continued thru Adele’s retirement in 1931. Solo for the first time, young Astaire starred once on Broadway, then went on to carve his incomparable niche in Hollywood history over the next 30+ years.

Fred Miller is the founder of the Copper Penny Players, a singing class for amateurs that has been operating for the past quarter century. He has experience in many different musical fields, including opera, comedy and piano music. There are now more than seventy Lecture-in-Song programs that he performs around New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

The Senior Happening is a monthly series that allows attendees (“Seniors” or otherwise) to socialize during the first part of the program (12 until 12:45 pm) by bringing a bag lunch, while enjoying desserts and coffee served by the Friends of the Library volunteers. The program and entertainment then begins at 1 pm.

Registration is required and may be done in person at the library; by telephone at (973) 992-4600; or online at www.livingstonlibrary.org. Registration begins on October 31st for Livingston residents and other Essex County residents may register starting on November 14th. Unable to make the show? A pre-recorded video of the performance will be available on the library website, www.livingstonlibrary.org, for you to enjoy at your leisure. 

Senior Happening is made possible in part by funds from the Essex County Division of Cultural Affairs, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and through the support from the Friends of the Livingston Library.
