JW3 is thrilled to invite you to our Season of Streisand, celebrating one of the most iconic figures in film, television, music and theatre.
Barbra Streisand's career, spanning over six decades, is paved with countless awards and trail-blazing firsts.
She has been awarded two Oscars, five Emmys, ten Grammys, a Tony Award, and eleven Golden Globes. Yentl, her first film as a director, made Barbra the first woman to produce, direct, write and star in a major motion picture. She is one of the best-selling recording artists of all time.
Join us for screenings of some of her most iconic films, and hear from Streisand expert Dr. Julie Labalzo Wright about her rise to fame and stardom.
