Westminster College's Celebrity Series will welcome award-winning comedienne Vicki Lawrence and Mama: A Two-Woman Show Saturday, April 4, at 7:30 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.

Lawrence joined the cast of television's The Carol Burnett Show when she was still in high school. In her seventh season with the show, Lawrence created the character of Thelma Harper, better known to fans as "Mama."

Lawrence went on to star in Mama's Family; host a game show and a talk show; publish her autobiography; earn a gold record; and appear on stage in a number of Broadway shows.

The entertainer now travels the country with her Two-Woman show and speaks to charitable groups about her life and career, women's health issues, and being a woman in a man's world.

The show is sponsored by First National Bank.

A pre-show buffet dinner in the Witherspoon Rooms of McKelvey Campus Center is available. Tickets for the meal are $25 for a single, $48 for a couple and do not include the price of the show ticket. Dinner reservations will be taken through Monday, March 30.

Seats are still available for the show and for the dinner. Contact Connie McGinnis, assistant director of the Celebrity Series, at (724) 946-7354 (e-mail mcginncl@westminster.edu) for reservations or visit www.westminster.edu/Celebrity for more information.
