Voices of Elmwood 2016
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The ninth-annual Voices of Elmwood will be held at Elmwood Cemetery, beginning the evening of September 15, 2016, and will run for a total of nine evenings in September and October.

Voices of Elmwood is a celebration of history, designed to honor our region’s heritage and the lives of the many people buried at Owensboro’s Elmwood Cemetery.

Founded by the Owensboro Museum of Science and History, in collaboration with the Daviess County Public Library and Theatre Workshop of Owensboro, Voices of Elmwood 2016 will offer ten new stories of people from our community.

Todd Reynolds will be directing the series, with local actors in period costumes presenting the story of the person they are portraying. Wagon rides will leave every thirty minutes each evening and stop for each actor’s presentation.

Performances begin at 6:00 p.m. each evening, with the last wagon leaving at 9:00 p.m. each night. Tent shows, perfect for large church groups, supper clubs, tour buses or patrons preferring not to ride in the wagons, will be offered on September 29th and 30th and on October 1st, and will begin at 6:00 p.m.

The tours last about an hour and fifteen minutes and are not recommended for children under twelve years of age. Patrons should arrive fifteen minutes prior to their wagon’s departure time or tent show performance.
