Kevin Kling & Victor Zupanc Celebrate Mother's Day
Crooners Supper Club

Looking to celebrate this Mother’s Day? Come on down to Crooners on Saturday, May 11th. Whether you are a mother, or are married to one, or know, or have, or have had one, this is the show for you. Victor and Kevin are back under the big top for an early evening of stories, poems and songs that celebrate those who fed and wiped and everything in between. Come and share a laugh, maybe a tear, and don’t worry, it’s not a school night. What do you and Einstein, Gandhi, Taylor Swift and Queen Victoria have in common? Mothers.
