Tuesday, August 2 @ 7PM Tuesday, August 2 @ 8PM Tuesday, August 2 @ 9PM See how the Nazis and the IOC turned, to their mutual advantage, a relatively small, elitist sports event into an epic global and mass media spectacle that, despite the IOC s determined attempts to forget, continues to this day.

Inspired by #1 best-seller The Boys in the Boat, the film follows the underdog team that took the nation by storm when they captured gold.

JFK: Parts One & Two, Monday & Tuesday, August 8 & 9 @ 8PM Forever enshrined in myth by an assassin s bullet, John F. Kennedy s presidency has often defied objective appraisal. This portrait offers a fresh assessment of the man, his accomplishments, and his unfulfilled promise. LBJ: Parts One & Two, Wednesday, August 10 @ 7PM & 9PM An accidental president but a master legislator, LBJ put into motion many of the programs that would continue to shape American life throughout the 1960s and 70s. A larger-than-life figure in his day, LBJ is appreciated for his vast domestic accomplishments, but his presidency continues to be overshadowed by his failure to end the war in Vietnam. Nixon, Thursday, August 11 @ 7PM Winner of a Writers Guild Award and the first American Experience presidential biography produced, Nixon explores the fateful combination of strengths and weaknesses that propelled Richard Nixon to the presidency and then brought him down. Jimmy Carter, Monday, August 15 @ 8PM Jimmy Carter s story is one of the greatest dramas in American politics.

Reagan, Tuesday & Wednesday, August 16 & 17 @ 8PM The life of the actor, governor, and president who saw America as a shining city on a hill is recalled by those who knew him best: wife Nancy Reagan and three of his children. George H. W. Bush, Thursday, August 18 @ 7PM With unparalleled access to figures in Bush s private and public life, George H. W. Bush explores the life of a man who became a pivotal player during a critical moment in American and world history.

Madama Butterfly Friday, August 19 @ 8PM Kristine Opolais brings her heartbreaking interpretation of the title role to the series for the first time.

Monday, August 29 @ 7PM Celebrated blues rock master Joe Bonamassa delivers a musical tribute to The Three Kings Of the Blues at the legendary Greek Theatre filmed in August 2015. This concert is a continuation of the celebration of our blues heritage, which began with the 2014 production of Joe Bonamassa Muddy Wolf at Red Rocks presented by Keeping The Blues Alive and was a tribute to the music of Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf. Call in to bid on your chance to own a signed guitar by Joe Bonamassa himself. Sunday, August 28 @ 7PM Monday, August 29 @ 8:30PM With their signature intricate harmonies and mix of male and female voices, The Mamas and the Papas bridged the folk-rock sound of the 1960s with a softer pop sound that instantly endeared the legendary foursome to audiences of all ages. Interviews with Mama Michelle Phillips and Papas Denny Doherty and John Phillips recall the group s meteoric rise to the top with fellow member Mama Cass Elliot, the beloved icon who would leave The Mamas and the Papas and strike out on a solo career with the 1968 release of Dream A Little Dream of Me.
