Freedonia Marxonia: Freedonia Marxonia 2021

The Marx Brothers' hometown was New York  City, but their careers took them throughout the U.S.  They performed in venues across the country and made movies in Hollywood.  Their residences included Chicago and cities in southern California.   There's Nothing Like Liberty: The Marx Brothers and America continues to look at the Marx Brothers' history by examining their experience across America.

We were proud to have Noah as the guest speaker at Freedonia Marxonia 2017, where he presented his The Marx Brothers on Broadway: 1924-1929 at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House. We were again proud that Noah was the guest, although virtually from a distance, for Freedonia Marxonia 2020!
