Come in your best Hawaiian shirt as we celebrate one of the most enjoyable artifacts of the mid-century era – the tiki bar and its creator, Donn Beach, also known as Don the Beachcomber — but his story goes much deeper than that. He was an American maverick, constantly creating his own opportunities, reinventing himself many times over, and was well known for embellishing the details of his extraordinary life. Separating fact from exaggeration to finally tell his fascinating story: a youth spent in Jamaica, running rum during prohibition, hunting down cigars and liquor for troops in World War II, and bringing the first commercial lūau to Hawai‘i. You can watch the trailer here

Q&A before the show with producer Max Well. Tiki drinks will be available for sale in the bar!
