November 10th Show Nearly Sold Out: Stories Teach About History

 

The November 10th performance is nearly sold out for both nights. Originally, it was planned as a one-night show to honor the Edmund Fitzgerald and its crew. However, the live reading proved so popular that a second night was added—and that, too, is almost sold out. Earlier today, I checked and found no seats left, but during tech week practice, we discovered about 50 extra seats stored away on a cart. I rushed out and bought a few for some friends.

btw...I had an extra little part added that was a nice touch based on our own shipping industry in Escanaba (I seem to like being around ships. I even have a small one. San Diego and Escanaba have shipping but this story is on the Great Lakes.)

This is a wonderful show that brings history to life. The storyline, lighting, videos, and other elements help us better understand the lives of those who came before us and the challenges they faced. Major historical events often shift the course of time, and the arts allow us to see and feel what those moments might have been like. The social benefits of art far exceed the costs. 

Art also enhances tourism, education, community cohesion, and overall satisfaction. It helps develop soft skills that can carry over into the boardroom. There are many reasons businesses might want to support the arts—communities with a strong artistic presence often have a powerful sense of identity and vitality that renews itself year after year. Donate to Players de Noc Theater

On a related note, I’ve been exploring the idea of activating different neural networks in learning by incorporating images, sounds, and other sensory experiences to strengthen encoding and recall. This isn’t a new theory—it’s long been recognized in the arts as a way to deepen audience engagement. It’s not about volume or noise, but about drawing people in through sensory and emotional connection. Perhaps it’s also about creating patterned sensory recall—something worth thinking about. Study on Multisensory Recognition.

In any case, if you’re thinking of going, don’t wait too long—tickets are going fast!
