The documentary film "Rovers, Wrestlers and Stars" tells the story of a vanished piece of Bowling Green history.

The Quonset Auditorim stage was shared by the likes of Ray Charles, Bill Monroe, Tina Turner and revival preachers in the years following World War II.

Rachel Hopkin, a student in the WKU Folk Studies department, prepared this report.

Rachel Hopkin is a BBC-trained radio producer and has worked for broadcast networks around the world. She has a longstanding interest in American traditional culture and, as a result, undertook an MA in Folk Studies at WKU between 2010 and 2012.
