The March History Talk
1926-1936 with Stephan Cusulos
March 18, 2021
Born in Sioux Falls, raised in up-state New York and
college educated at the University of Minnesota where
he focused his studies on intellectual and cultural
history, Stephen R. Cusulos will be the featured speaker
at MCHS’s March History Talk “The State Theater
and the Sioux Falls Night Life—1926—1936”.
While developing “historical snapshots” of Sioux Falls
circa 1927, it became obvious that the city not only had
a decidedly “cosmopolitan” East Coast orientation in
fashion and taste, but a very visible and vibrant jazz
culture and entertainment, much of which centered at
the State Theater setting the foundation for this
presentation.
Here’s the link to the YouTube Live page for the
program which will begin at 7:00 pm, Thursday,
March 18. https://youtu.be/wgMAoMGuuzE
