If you love Show Boat then you will want to help us rebuild the original Show Boat, the James Adams Floating Theatre. this was the one and only show boat that Edna Ferber visited to do her research before writing her famous novel. Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein III also visited it before writing the Broadway Musical. Charles Hunter, Beulah Adams' husband, even went to Hollywood and served as a consultant on the 1929 Movie Show Boat. So please join us today to guarantee that this piece of history is returned for the world to enjoy. In addition to your monetary donations, please consider helping promote this project. tell all of your friends and colleagues too. Thank you for your support !
