Rancho Mirage, California-Four score and twenty…wait…five score years ago, our fore-brothers (Leonard, Julius, and Arthur Marx) brought forth on stage a new comedy act. To commemorate that momentous occasion in 1914, when the Marx Brothers made their debut as Chico, Groucho, and Harpo, Marx fans of every breed are being invited to gather together to celebrate 100 years of the Marx Brothers’ worldwide influence on comedy and laughter.
Here’s what you can expect to see at the show on Saturday, March 22: a panel of Marx family members and others under the influence of Marx humor, favorite Marx Brothers movie clips, a Q&A session with the audience, and hilarious anecdotes by CGH Society President and event host Bill Marx, son of Harpo Marx.
The bonus matinee show will take place on the afternoon of Sunday, March 23, and will feature Bill Marx presenting never-before-seen outtakes from Marx Brothers movies, footage from Marx home videos, and long-lost Marx Brothers performances on myriad shows during the early days of TV.
This free (for all) event is presented by the CGH (ChicO, GrouchO, HarpO) Society, a non-profit organization of 501(3)c repute.
Seating is limited and available only on a first-come, first-served basis.
