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.

Torn and warped by Japanese bullets, this piece of protective gear is a rare testament to the ferocious fighting of the oft-forgotten Aleutian Islands Campaign. 

Actor and humanitarian Gary Sinise, along with his Gary Sinise Foundation, and The National WWII Museum are partnering to give a group of 55 Southern California veterans the opportunity to visit the Museum that honors their service. The veterans will arrive in New Orleans on June 24 to kick-off two days of exploring the Museum alongside Sinise.
