CULVER — The Culver area has enjoyed local theater for well over a hundred years–from the 19th-century Maxinkuckee Chautauqua Assembly, to the storied Maxinkuckee Playhouse summer stock theater on the east shore of the lake, down to the Maxinkuckee Players of today.
Perennial (and founding) Maxinkuckee Players member Dan Adams and Culver Academies Historian Jeff Kenney will present “Drama by the Lake: Culver’s Theatrical History,” a history of live theater in town, at the lake, and at the Academies on Saturday, July 12, starting at 10:30 a.m. at the Culver-Union Twp. Public Library, 107 N. Main Street in downtown Culver. The public is welcome and the program is free.
The presentation is part of the Culver Historical Society’s roster of summer programming.
The next two programs will take place in the Culver Academies’ Legion Memorial Building: the annual fundraiser concert, this year featuring the Dave Bennett Quartet, Saturday, AUGUST 9, at 7 pm, and “Underneath the Maxinkuckee Moon: Culver in Music,” with retired Culver Academies Bandmaster MAJ Bill Brown, Saturday, AUGUST 16, at 10:30 AM. The Stories and Stones Cemetery Walk will follow at Culver’s Masonic Cemetery at 1 PM on Saturday, September 20.
