DCT Opens the 2009/2010 Season With THE TAFFETAS: A Musical Journey Through The Fabulous 50’s 10/30-11/8
By: Gabrielle Sierra Oct. 13, 2009
It's 1950-something, and Kaye, Peggy, Cheryl & Donna, four singing sisters from Muncie, Indiana are making their national television singing debut. "Spotlight on Music," a fictitious weekly 1950's television show on the real-life Dumont Television Network, sets the framework for an evening of some of the greatest hits of the 1950's. A tribute to the girl groups of the 1950's, THE TAFFETAS pay tribute to the sounds of The McGuire Sisters, The Fontane Sisters and The Chordettes. Opening Off-Broadway almost two years before "Forever Plaid," THE TAFFETAS made nostalgia what it is today! Spend an hour and a half with THE TAFFETAS and their three piece band and remember what Sunday night television was like on your 12-inch black and white screen!
