Description
Kat takes us into the dazzling world of vaudeville as we uncover the story of the Cherry Sisters. Their eccentric performances exist at the intersection of people who throw things at performers and those who punch walls. Next, Hayley tells the story of the Oversteegn sisters, fearless resistance fighters during World War II.
