Meet The Cherry Sisters: Iowa's Most Infamous Performers
Long before social media made people famous overnight, four sisters from Marion, Iowa, captured the nation's attention for all the wrong reasons. Join us for the unbelievable true story of the Cherry Sisters, whose famously dreadful stage performances made them household names, sparked national headlines, and even helped shape American free speech through a landmark Iowa Supreme Court case. Filled with humor, surprising history, and unforgettable newspaper reviews, this entertaining presentation explores how a group of ordinary Iowa women became extraordinary legends.
