RICK STEVES' TRAVEL AS A POLITICAL ACT 
SUNDAY, AUGUST 15, 11:30 PM 

Rick Steves believes there's more to travel than good food and fun in the sun. Travelers who travel as a political act can have the time of their lives and come home smarter, with a better understanding of today's world. In his inspirational lecture, Rick explains how when we venture thoughtfully out of our comfort zone, we gain an empathy for the other 96 percent of humanity and come home with the greatest of all souvenirs: a broader perspective.

LIZA WITH A Z 
FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 7:30 PM

One of the first concert films made for television, Liza with a Z (1972), starred Liza Minnelli and was produced by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse. Liza with a Z is not simply a case of putting cameras in front of an existing concert. Liza and her team rehearsed at a Broadway theatre for eight weeks, and the special was shot on film instead of video, a rarity for TV at that time. Marvin Hamlisch was the music conductor and Halston, a friend of Liza Minnelli’s, designed the costumes.
