Scranton-born Ned Washington has been relatively unsung for his contributions to the Great American Songbook.  One of Tin Pan Alley's most prolific lyricists, his career embraced vaudeville, Broadway, Hollywood and TV.  As we trace his life in songwriting, we get a fascinating look into the patterns of American popular music and corresponding changes in modes of representation and public taste.  Included are recordings of Washington's most celebrated songs and selected movie clips featuring his work. Tickets will be available at the door while they last or they can be reserved by calling the Dietrich at 570-996-1500.
