The Original "A Star is Born"

  

 

 

Monday, March 17, 2025

1:15pm

Kathleen Rooney, author of From Dust to Stardust, shares silent film star Colleen Moore’s story, bringing this artist back into the spotlight through her historical fiction. Moore created a unique dollhouse, which toured to raise money for children during the Great Depression, and later came to the  Museum of Science and Industry as The Fairy Castle. The author shows how hope, wonder, cinema, philanthropy, and art can re-enchant a disenchanted world.

This program will be presented in our beautiful 2nd floor ballroom at 178 Forest Ave. in Oak Park. Our programs are free and open to the public; voluntary donations are welcome and appreciated.

This program will be recorded for later viewing and will be able to be viewed live on Zoom. To view on Zoom CLICK HERE. (This link is the same for all 2024-2025 Monday Enrichment Programs.)

A three-course lunch by Executive Chef Marcell Dukes is served at noon (doors open at 11:30am); $25 for members and $30 for non-members. Reservations are required by the Thursday prior to the program. CLICK HERE to make a reservation or call the office at 708-386-2729 x2.
