In honor of the beloved theatre organist and entertainer Stan Kann, The Fabulous Fox will offer a free organ concert on the theatre’s legendary Mighty Wurlitzer.
On the occasion of what would have been his 100th Birthday, the organ concert will feature Gerry Marian, who served as Stan Kann’s assistant for ten years, along with Mark Gifford, another organist that knew Stan well. Guests can look forward to an engaging performance that pays tribute to Kann’s extraordinary legacy as one of the most iconic performers on the Mighty Wurlitzer organ.
Due to high demand, and to accommodate more guests for this celebration, tours of the theatre will no longer be included as originally scheduled for this event.
Artifacts and memorabilia related to Stan Kann will be on display, giving guests an intimate look at his life and career.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to celebrate the life & legacy of Stan Kann with an afternoon of history, music and memories. Free parking will also be offered in the Fabulous Fox parking garage at 3637 Washington Boulevard.
Fans will have the chance to take home some of Stan’s memorabilia & fan art (first come, first served, while supplied last).
Please enter through the theatre’s front brass doors facing Grand Boulevard. Doors open at 12:30 p.m.
