Within a generation, few artists reach the status of legend, but after fifty years of success in virtually all media genres, William H. Cosby Jr. has earned that remarkable level of distinction.

Since then, his ground breaking television, hit movies and best-selling books have inspired, enlightened and educated fans of all ages. Cosby is quite simply a National Treasure.Ovations' presentation of Bill Cosby is sponsored by Bangor Savings Bank with additional media support from The Portland Phoenix.
