Themed Events

South Florida

Audiences in South FL have enjoyed Dan Hudak’s lectures for more than ten years! He’s covered great movie moments, behind-the-scenes scandals, and the Oscars. Now the team in South FL also covers Broadway, Nutrition, Jewish History and more!

Denver

In addition to Dan Hudak’s classic film lectures, Denver audiences also enjoy Betsy Schwarm’s lectures on classical music. Attendees are often shocked at the many pieces of music Betsy plays that sound surprisingly familiar, and then they’re “wowed” by Betsy’s extensive background knowledge as she discusses the music!

Albuquerque

Audiences in Albuquerque can’t get enough of Dan Hudak’s film lectures! They laugh, they cry, they reminisce. Indeed, one of the great things about the lectures is how they trigger memories for attendees, often taking them back to first dates and fun outings with friends that happened more than 50 years ago!

Tampa

In the Tampa area, Bob Ross and Andrew Meacham have been entertaining audiences for years with their classic film and Broadway lectures. And certainly their knowledge runs deep: Bob was the Tampa Tribune film critic for more than 20 years, and Andrew was a writer and arts critic for the Tampa Bay Times for more than ten years!

Testimonials

In large crowds full of sharp, experienced individuals, opinions and feedback are inevitable. Hudak On Hollywood is proud to share the great compliments and feedback often offered by lecture attendees.

Quick story: After hearing the “Famous Moments, Famous Movies Part II” lecture, a woman approached Dan to discuss the shower scene in “Psycho” that he just showed. She remembered seeing the film with friends in New York City in 1960 shortly after it opened, and that it was so scary they didn’t want to shower for three days!
