Saturday, March 3rd, 3 PM - Garibaldi Meucci Museum · 420 Tompkins Avenue · Staten Island, NY 10305. Rosemary Novellino-Mearns' presentation has been seen nationwide. In Saving Radio City Music Hall, Rosemary Novellino-Mearns reveals how this premier tourist attraction was saved from demolition. After years of struggling with intense, sometimes painful memories, "Rosie" tells the honest, fact-filled, emotionally charged and often humorous story of how she organized the effort to save Radio City Music Hall in 1978.

Against all the odds, she succeeded. A modest but determined young dancer from Glen Rock, New Jersey, Rosemary Novellino joined the Radio City Music Hall Ballet Company, the classical dance counterpart to the world famous Rockettes in 1966. She became the Dance Captain after 12 years and assistant to the legendary Peter Gennaro.
