Nine of the many colorful characters of Rugby's past will come alive for this event, telling their own true stories – several funny, some tragic. This time they will be accompanied by 150 historic and other projected images showing how they looked, their homes and their settings.
Costumed players from a Rugby resident cast will be the presenters. The words will be largely the character’s own, thanks to Historic Rugby's archives. All of them rest in Rugby’s Laurel Dale Cemetery.
Earlier versions of the Lantern Tour began in 2010, but all were on the grounds of the cemetery where audience numbers had to be limited. This time the 100-seat Rebecca Johnson Theatre at Historic Rugby’s Visitor Centre will bring a different dimension to this real-life drama.
Tickets are available at the door for $15, or $7 for students grades K-12. The Harrow Road Café will be open until 9:00 pm ET for dining before or after the show.
