Description

Celebrate the fun of a New Orleans Mardi Gras from the comfort of your home, via Zoom! The origins of this annual festival can be traced through Rome, Venice, and France, before spreading to colonies in the new world. Jane Ellen examines the history, the customs, the sights and sounds, the music, the lingo, and the obligatory Krewe favors. No long-distance tickets required; costumes and chair dancing optional.

Jane Ellen shares her eclectic interests with Oasis audiences from her island home on Florida’s Space Coast. Specializing in music and entertainment history, she especially enjoys exploring the artist behind the art. Jane’s presentations benefit from her gifts as a storyteller, independent scholar, performer, and composer.
