In honor of Bob Hope’s unwavering support for the troops, the Bob & Dolores Hope Foundation has committed a $3 million gift to The National WWII Museum in New Orleans. The generous donation will support integrating Bob Hope’s wartime legacy comprehensively throughout the Museum’s campus. Hope’s story, which is a significant component of World War II, represents the value of laughter and humanity in even the darkest times.
The National WWII Museum’s live theater venue, BB’s Stage Door Canteen, today announced its 2016-2017 season featuring a new dynamic male vocal trio, a tribute to beloved Bob Hope and a debut production honoring WWII factory worker turned Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe. The thrilling season lineup serves as a tribute to the men and women who entertained the nation’s troops, while offering a unique opportunity to share the culture of the WWII era with new generations.
