Fall for History at the Center of the Universe New Event in 2016! In cooperation with the Idaho Humanities Council, the Idaho Historical Society, the Idaho Association of Museums and Visit Idaho, Wallace will be celebrating its heritage with a series of colorful lectures, history re-enactments, live theater productions, and guided tours of the town, which as far as we know is the only city in America entirely listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Fourteen different events, including three workshops and several historical tours, are planned for this inaugural fall celebration of our colorful history. Our featured speaker is John Langellier. He received his Ph.D. in military history from Kansas State University. After a 45-year career in public history, he retired in Tucson Arizona, in 2015. He is the author of dozens of books, including Fighting for Uncle Sam: Blacks in the Frontier Army. More information about this event may be found in the September 16, 2016, Shoshone News-Press story Fall for History in Wallace.

Sixth Street Melodrama
Friday, Saturday, Sunday "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) This comedy is an irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard's plays. "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged" was London's longest-running comedy, having clocked a very palpable nine years in London's West End at the Criterion Theater. Join Edward Warren, Paul Roberts and Chuck Tatman, three madcap men in tights, as they weave their wicked way through all of Shakespeare's comedies, histories and tragedies in a wild ride that will leave you breathless and helpless with laughter. This production is geared toward a PG-13 audience. See business page for more information. |
