GREATHOUSE OF MUSIC
Mark and Helena Greathouse, an international musical performing duo, present their one-hour performance, "You Do Speak English, Don't You?", a family friendly, lively cabaret style variety show. The show is basically a love story of how the two met in Europe, eventually married, and moved to Mark’s native Oregon, where they live today. A Question-and-Answer session follows the performance, with Helena sharing what her life was like growing behind the Iron Curtain and making it to the West. The show features Mark's own songs, Czech folk songs, as well as several familiar songs and parts of instrumental numbers. The songs are all interspersed with short, humorous dialogues highlighting challenges Helena and Mark have experienced in their lives as a Czech-American couple.
