This Tony-nominated, nostalgic musical revue offers snapshots - tintypes, if you will - of America in its last Age of Innocence. This musical melting pot of changing times blazes to life in a tuneful, high-spirited brew of popular songs from 1890 to 1917, performed by five archetypes of the period: Anna Held, the beautiful music hall star; Emma Goldman, the notorious anarchist; Susannah, a black domestic based on Ziegfeld's pioneering male star, Bert Williams; a Chaplin-esque immigrant; and the outrageous Teddy Roosevelt, the youngest man ever to be elected President of the United States. From the immigrant experience to the beginning of the Jim Crow era to the birth of the great vaudeville stars, Tintypes chronicles the growing pains of a nation on the brink of becoming a world superpower.
$10-$40.
Presented by Contra Costa Civic Theatre.
