Red Skelton told the jokes and Bing Crosby crooned. The place was the Stage Door Canteen and the guests were the steady stream of GIs headed off to war. Many were leaving home for the first time and the Canteen offered a welcome opportunity to forget their anxieties-if only for a time-with entertainment, fellowship, and a little American spirit. Through interviews with both celebrities forever linked to its legacy and soldiers and servers whose lives were bettered by the remarkable venue in the basement of Broadway's Shubert Theater, Curtain Up for Victory: Inside the Stage Door Canteen provides a unique look at the famed -- an forgotten -- war effort. Hosted by Branford Marsalis. Featuring Angela Lansbury and Mickey Rooney. Written by Official Production See less
