Great Performances

Name: Great Performances
Genre: Comedy, Documentary, Drama
Released: 1971
Cast: Bray Poor, Donald Buka, Catherine Burns, J.D. Cannon, George Grizzard

Audience

A long-running anthology brings viewers performances and documentaries from across America and around the world. Its wide-ranging selection includes classical music, opera, popular song, musical theater, dance, drama, and other highlights from the performing arts.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy varied performing arts, thoughtful drama, and cultural programming; Not for you if you prefer a single continuing story or fast-paced entertainment like A Haunting.
