A Night With Ray Klausen

On Friday, April 22, at 7 PM we will be treated to an amazing evening of Hollywood lore and fun!

Ray Klausen, a member of SunCoast MCC, has written a memoir, “Behind the Scenes: From Hollywood to Broadway.”

 

Ray Klausen is famous for designing the sets for nine Broadway shows, more than 400 television shows, including for Cher’s Las Vegas special, and winning three Emmy Awards for Art Direction. 

 

His memoir has been called, “a delicious smorgasboard,” chock full of stories of superstars and Oscar winners. In addition, he tells the harrowing story of rescuing someone during the tragic MGM fire in Las Vegas. Klausen weaves throughout the book his own life story of love and coming out.

 

 You may purchase his book in advance, and he will sign your copy.
