Our
LECTURES

Primetime Presenters’s lectures have provided great entertainment for 55+ communities, retirement facilities, JCCs, country clubs and more!

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! Triggering memories such as these are at the heart of everything Primetime Presenters does.

In person lectures are available throughout Florida, Denver, Albuquerque, Minnesota, Phoenix, and New York/New Jersey. Most lecturers are also available via Zoom. Click the links below to learn more.

So much great information. I loved the way he included film clips and songs. Whats up Doc is truly hilarious. She does comedy and drama so easily. I look forward to his next installment! Thank you!

“James Calaski’s gifts as a historian, coupled with his innate skills as a police detective, bring a unique perspective to his work. He is thorough in his research, always going to those places where the facts lead. All that, plus Jim’s personable style and good sense of humor make him an ideal presenter for any group event.”

…We attended two lectures, one on The Godfather and the other on Casablanca. To say that the lectures and the lecturer, Sharon Harris-Zlotnick, were excellent would be a gross understatement. She was witty, well prepared, had great slides and clips, and was extremely knowledgeable. The audiences loved her presentations…
