A Date with a Beatle
A Date with a Beatle is a charming look back at the glory days of Beatlemania, as seen through the eyes of a loyal and devoted fan. You'll feel as if you're right there with JUDY: at her first sighting of The Beatles at Kennedy Airport, witnessing their first press conference, sneaking into The Plaza Hotel, drooling over their first appearance on Ed Sullivan, her wild trip to The Beatles First American Concert in Washington, D.C., and the crazy antics she pulled off, all in loving effort to meet her idol, George Harrison – and she actually made it happen!
A Date with a Beatle is a hilarious, fast-paced, totally entertaining story of the magic that was created by four lovely lads from Liverpool and the dreams that can come true when tenacity and heart are headed in the same direction.

The story of two teenage girls -- circa1959. Both suffered tragedies early in their lives, and for that, they each pay a price.
