Celebrate Great Lakes Traveling Show

***An Absolute Michigan Editor's Choice***

The Saginaw News reports that on Sunday (Aug 21) at 3 PM, Ann Arbor's Attic Theatre will perform Celebrate Great Lakes 2005. The show sweeps through Michigan events from 10,000 years ago through the late 1990s and features folk band Song of the Lakes, historians Larry & Priscilla Massie, singer/songwriters Kitty Donahue & Claudia Schmidt, dancer Sheila Graziano, storyteller LaRon Williams and a group of American Indian drummers/dancers/storytellers from the Munsee tribe in London, Ontario. The show is based on the touring Chautaugua shows from the 1800s and early 1900s that incorporated history, local singers, dancers, actors and story-tellers into each city's script. The other 4 performances are Sep 2 @ Sault Ste Marie's-Sesquicentennial Celebration-Brady Park (12 Noon), Sep 4 @ Connections Festival- Ann Arbor (11am and 5pm), Sep 10 @ Wyandotte Heritage Festival (11am and 3pm) and Sep 11 @ Howe Field-Eaton Rapids.
