Description
This popular short play of acting, music, and song is from the 2017 History Alive! Pop-up Plays Lanesboro 1930s. It recreates the entertainment from a huge Sons of Norway District One Convention held in Lanesboro in 1936: an 8 person women’s drill team (very popular back then!) , vintage Norwegian play, men’s Norwegian quartet. All the convention silliness is presided over by Lanesboro’s famed photographer Matthias Bue, played by Theo St. Mane. Audience can elect to be a convention delegate, if they wish. Presented by Sons of Norway Heimbygde Lodge.
The play presents an opportunity to view the newly restructured and refurbished historic Sons of Norway building. Refreshments will follow the show.
