MVHS will digitize Republic Steel data
YOUNGSTOWN
The Mahoning Valley Historical Society has received a $4,500 grant award from the Ohio History Fund, the competitive matching grant program of the Ohio History Connection.
The funds will allow the MVHS to digitize microfilm copies of records from Republic Steel from the 1880s to the 1960s; and scrapbooks compiled by former Youngstown Mayor Charles P. Henderson.
Henderson cracked down on organized crime in the city in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
This project will make these materials more accessible to the public, and better ensure the preservation of the original records.
Auditions are set for ‘Finnegan’s’
BOARDMAN
Brendan Byers’ Food Glorious Food dinner-theater will host auditions for its initial production, “Finnegan’s Farewell,” at 6:30 p.m. Monday at Trinity Fellowship Church, 4749 South Ave.
The show opens April 16 for at least a two-weekend run.
For information, call 330-406-0606.
There is a cast of at least 20, with a few roles already precast.
Actors should be prepared to move, and be comfortable with some improv.
In the play, the audience has come to say goodbye to Patrick James Finnegan, a mailman who won $2.5 million and then promptly dropped dead. As his contentious family gets more and more distraught during this memorable evening concocted by the co-creator of Tony and Tina’s wedding, a fight erupts over opening the casket.
The show is full of Irish music, step dancers and crazy characters. The audience gets involved in the action, including dancing on the dance floor.
