2012 October Italian Heritage Month Calendar of Events continued Tuesday, Tony Lo Bianco as Mayor Fiorello La Guardia in “THE LITTLE FLOWER.” Matinees and Evenings. “The Little Flower” presents a historic look into the life and career October 23 to of Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia — a courageous and flamboyant personality, who read comics to the children during a newspaper strike, fought against corruption Friday, and cleaned up city politics setting a new standard for mayors and politicians in America. He was a great statesman and champion of the poor and under privileged, November 2 and a father figure to millions of Americans living through the hard times of the 1930’s and 1940’s. La Guardia was a man of integrity with outstanding principles, morals and values whose voice resonated throughout America. He was steadfast in standing up for his beliefs regardless of obstacles, challenges or political agenda. The show is set in “present time-1945” and “flashbacks.” Chronologically, it re-enacts important events in La Guardia’s life and the lessons he learned. It moves colorfully through the first half of the 20th century in America, and provides a clear vision of a man who not only lived through those times, but helped shape them. The problems La Guardia faced are parallel to those we are facing now. He held strong convictions on family values, inflation, women’s suffrage, financial responsibility, education, unions, political corruption and prohibition. He transcended political party barriers while holding strong to his plan of action that served him well then and could serve the American people today! What this world needs is another La Guardia, and I am truly honored and excited to present “The Little Flower”, the return of our One-Man Show. This adaptation is enlightening and inspirational. His legacy will live on forever! SPONSOR: MNA Productions, Inc. LOCATION: Dicapo Theater, 184 East 76th Street, New York, NY. Tuesday, “WITH MY ITALIAN I …” 4:00 PM.
