Another Successful Discovery Walk
In collaboration with The
McLean County Museum of
History,
Illinois Voices Theatre and Artistic Director Judy Brown have once more
brought history to life in the 2007
Discovery
Walk in Evergreen Cemetery. To coinside with the Illinois
State
University Sesquicentennial celebration, all characters featured in
this year's event had a connection to the university.
Public performances ran on
weekends between
September 29 to October 7. Proceeds from the sale of public
performances were again used to bring in students from area schools for
performances on Fridays. Attendance at this year's event set
a
record for this very popular production.
