By: Nora Dominick Oct. 09, 2015
The Palace Theater kicked off the fall season with LOMBARDI and the reviews have been fantastic!
The legendary and inspiring story of the football coach who many would say is one of the greatest in NFL history is celebrated in LOMBARDI, which opened September 23, and runs through November 1, 2015. Based on the best-selling biography When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi by Pulitzer Prize winner David Maraniss, LOMBARDI is written by Academy Award winner Eric Simonson. Set in 1965, LOMBARDI brings coaching icon Vince Lombardi to life on stage and chronicles the story of not only the Green Bay Packers coaching legend, but the man behind the Super Bowl trophy named in his honor as he creates one of the greatest teams in NFL history. Audiences are riveted as LOMBARDI rises to coaching greatness with an unprecedented desire to be a champion, perfectionist tenacity, and unmatched ability to inspire his players while demonstrating life lessons learned both on and off the gridiron.
On Friday, October 16, 2015, the Palace Theater is honored to be hosting special guests for the performance of Lombardi. Pulitzer Prize Author David Maraniss, NFL Hall of Famer Dave Robinson, and Author Royce Boyles.
