Imagination Tour “Trolley Through Time”
City of Norcross, GA - History and cultural art blend into a special treat for the imagination, November 7th, from 1:00p.m. – 8:p.m. in Downtown Historic Norcross. Visitors are invited to jump on board a Time Trolley and enjoy a theatrical presentation of the city’s rich history as it travels through Historic Norcross. Stroll the sidewalks of Norcross’ quaint downtown while enjoying live music, including performances by children from the MasterPiece Performing Arts Company (MPPAC) who will be performing a variety of a cappella vocal numbers and musical skits. A silent auction, sponsored by the Kiwanis of Norcross, will be conducted with proceeds going towards programs in the local Norcross public schools. In addition, over 100 pieces of art will be on display throughout the downtown’s shops and restaurants for show and sale.
According to the City of Norcross’ Downtown Manager, Tixie Fowler (mailto:), “Norcross is recognized as an up and coming arts community, as much for our cultural arts diversity as for our quality. For this Tour, we have accomplished playwrights, local authors and historians teaming with our award-winning Lionheart Theatre, to provide a really unique trolley tour though the historic district. Add in local artists, musicians, and specials and sales going on throughout our shops and restaurants, and there will be something for everyone!”
Visitors board the Time Trolleys on Cemetery Street, alongside Dominicks Italian restaurant. The trolleys will cruise guests through the Historic District and its outskirts, past churches, cemeteries, historic homes and parks, with “100-year old locals” telling about the history along the way. Stories of travelin’ preachers, baseball heroes and civil war skirmishes have been compiled by playwright James Beck, and Sally Toole, author of, ‘Remembering Norcross; Nuggets of Nostalgia’. The event is presented by the Norcross Kiwanis Club (http://ping.fm/ozN4K) , Lionheart Theatre, (http://ping.fm/uzJvs) and the Norcross Arts Alliance.
