Echoes in Time Theatre Moves Summer Performances To Ohio Village
Stories of Ohio’s Past Feature Pioneer Woman, Civil War Soldier
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) – The Ohio Historical Society is moving its popular Echoes in Time Theatre to the out of doors for two months this summer. Performances for June and July will take place on the lawn of Teacher’s Park against the backdrop of the Ohio Village.
Echoes in Time Theatre are half-hour performances showcasing characters from history most Thursday evenings in June and July at 7 p.m. Audience members can come early and bring a picnic supper to enjoy before the show.
What did the first settlers of Ohio face when they came here? Find out as one woman tells her story of leaving everything behind to follow her husband to the wild frontier. Robin Schuricht of Buckeye Lake plays the pioneer woman in "For the Ohio Country!" June 11, 18 and 25.
The sacrifice and support of Ohioans were instrumental in winning the Civil War. In fact, three out of every five men in Ohio left their homes to volunteer for the Union. Join Billy Yank as he tells about the adventure that he thought was in store for him as he went to fight for his country. Mark Holbrook of Columbus performs in "For Cause and Comrades" July 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30.
Admission to Ohio Village and the Ohio Historical Center is $8/adult, $7/senior, $4/youth and free for Ohio Historical Society members and children 5 years of age and under. Parking is $4 and free for members.
Audience members need to bring their own seating for the outdoor presentations. In case of rain, the performance will be moved to the Discovery Theatre at the Ohio Historical Center. For more information, visit www.ohiohistory.org or call 614.297.2300 or 800.686.6124.
The Ohio Village is located on I-71 and 17th Avenue. It is one of 58 historic museums and sites operated by the Ohio Historical Society, a nonprofit organization that serves as the state’s partner in preserving and interpreting Ohio’s history, archaeology, natural history and historic architecture.
