Wednesday Trivia Question

What PBS arts show was narrated by Elaine Stritch?

This is delving into some obscure territory but sometimes trivia gets tough. See if you know this one.

PBS has a long history of programming devoted to the arts. From GREAT PERFORMANCES to ALIVE FROM OFF CENTER, viewers have been treated to Broadway’s Best and to avant-garde’s most unorthodox.

One of the arguably lesser known series was broadcast in the early aughts. I know that we aired some episodes on public broadcasting in North Carolina but cannot confirm how many. Moreover, it’s difficult to even ascertain how many seasons were produced (I get conflicting information online). But the show in question was produced by WNET/Thirteen in New York and ran for several seasons (PBS picked it up for national distribution with series two). The premise was to document both the famous and the unusual aspects and projects of classical and modern art. A quick look at episode titles and program descriptions shows pieces on puppetry, sculpture, bonsai, yodeling, photography, theatre, dance, polka, micro-cinema, grass-roots radio and so much more.
