The 1920’s are saturated with surprise, sequins, and murder! A fun and funny flapper named Flora tells us how fashion, crime, and prohibition mixed with explosive creativity shaped the decade of the century. You will learn fact from fiction and how reality relates to the 2002 Oscar-winning film Chicago. This interactive and highly engaging program is a front row seat for the compelling stories of Chicago in the 1920’s. Travel back in time and let Flora the flapper educate and entertain you.
