The Kings Historical Society and CentreStage Theatre are hosting a night of wartime camaraderie with a touch of the poignant. Guests will enjoy a night of live 1940’s era music, food, theatre and dancing. The “Andrews Sisters” will make a special appearance! There will be a cash bar serving refreshments and “cigarette” girls will stroll the ballroom of the Cornwallis Inn.
