LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

Dear Art Patrons:

The return of

the Arts. Ahh,

how long I’ve

been waiting

to splash that

headline across

the front of

our flagship

Arts Quincy

magazine.

It’s been a

year, hasn’t it? But with Adams County

vaccination rates topping 30% as I’m

writing this, and with COVID transmission

at its lowest point since last summer, you

can see arts and culture programming

popping up like sunny little daffodils in

springtime.

Of course, the return of the arts won’t

happen all at once, nor is the return

assured. I join with other community

leaders in emphasizing the need for

continued diligence and masking, and I

hope as soon as you’re able, you take

advantage of our mass vaccination

site at the Oakley Lindsay Center to

protect yourself and those around you.

All of these steps will help arts and

culture reopen safely for our audiences,

participants and volunteers.

The first live event on our springtime

calendar is a marvelous play by Quincy

Community Theatre featuring the

extraordinary actress Jeri Conboy

portraying iconic poet Emily Dickinson.

Audience size will be limited, but

audience spirit, I suspect, will be at an

all-time high.

Live music is also poised for a return.

The Quincy Symphony Orchestra and

Chorus have been recording wonderful

virtual performances that are available

to stream, but they also expect a return

to historic Morrison Theater at Quincy

Junior High School soon.

I’m thrilled to see the Quincy Park

Band making its live music return for

a 73rd season. I play trumpet in this

organization, and I think I speak for all of

our local musicians when I say we are

overjoyed to make music in an ensemble

for a live audience again.

The Historical Society of Quincy and

Adams County has also been hard

at work to prepare both the History

Museum and the John Wood Mansion

for reopening to the public. The Lincoln

Era Log Cabin Village and Dr. Eells

Underground Railroad home are available

for tours. The library has resumed full

services. The Art Center has classes

on its schedule. Q-Fest and Blues in

the District is slated to go forward. We

expect fall favorites like the Folk Life

Festival and Art Fest to be back on the

calendar.

I want to leave this letter to you with an

excerpt from a letter written by Emily

Dickinson in March of 1884. Dickinson

was no stranger to hurt, and this letter to

her friends Louise and Frances Norcross

addresses the pain of the loss of a friend

but the awe and hope that comes with a

new spring. So it goes with the arts as it

reemerges from this pandemic.

Thank you, dears, for the sympathy.

I hardly dare to know that I have lost

another friend, but anguish finds it out.

Each that we lose takes part of us;

A crescent still abides,

Which like the moon, some turbid night,

Is summoned by the tides.

. . . I work to drive the awe away, yet awe

impels the work.

I almost picked the crocuses, you told

them so sincerely. Spring’s first conviction

is a wealth beyond its whole experience.

Your partner in the arts,

Laura Sievert,

Executive Director

Your gift to the arts has a great impact.

Your financial support for Arts Quincy aids a wide range of groups from all areas of the arts and provides art education

programming for 8,500 students! We are able to multiply your generous donation by combining it with other gifts to create

grants that make an impact to 55 partner organizations in Adams County. Those organizations

then create hundreds of arts and educational opportunities that impact nearly 50,000 people

each year! We feel incredibly lucky to be in an area where the role of art and music is seen as

essential in shaping our community.

Promotional support provided by


The Partnership of a Solo Show

By Brandon Thomsen, Artistic Director

It was announced in mid-February

that live theatre would return to the

tri-state area with Quincy Community

Theatre’s production of The Belle of

Amherst, a one-person show written

by William Luce about the great poet

Emily Dickinson. There’s a great irony

about presenting this play in the era

of Covid-19. Emily Dickinson was a

(now) famous recluse! She spent much

of her life in seclusion. She would

have loved quarantine and a stay-athome

order! If the people of Amherst,

Massachusetts knew her at all, they

would have known her only as the

eccentric woman who wears white

and who no one sees. After her death

at the age of 56, her sister discovered

in Emily’s trunk nearly 2,000

handwritten poems. Very few people

knew that this woman in isolation

had an incredibly unique perspective

on life, death, the world and had the

ability to share it through words

on paper.

The Belle of Amherst is a play I have

wanted to direct for about 15 years.

I first saw a friend of mine perform it,

and later she presented me with a

volume of “The Complete Works….”

I saw a filmed version of the play that

starred Julie Harris, and I found the

script at a used bookstore several

years ago. As the artistic director of a

theatre, it’s my responsibility to select

the stories that we will tell each year,

but that doesn’t mean I do whatever I

want whenever I want. Instead, each

year I look at where we are as an

organization, as a community, how

we can grow and how we can vary

the voices. With a possible return to

live theatre during an era of social

distancing, I wanted to select a piece

with a small cast that would feel

appropriate for intimate audiences.

Dreams wait for the right timing…now

is that timing.

Traditionally we would hold open

auditions for all our roles, but in the

unique circumstance of a one-person

show, I needed to make sure we had

someone in place who wanted to

take on the hefty task of memorizing

a 90-minute solo play and who could

hold the audience’s attention for

that amount of time. Local actor Jeri

Conboy has played several roles in the

past that have had loads of dialogue,

and I knew she could not only

memorize the piece but would grow

into the role and make it her own. I

approached Jeri with the idea, and she

thought about it for a week and came

back with a yes. We decided to meet

to discuss the process. As neither of

us had done a one-person show, we

talked about ways we might proceed.

(Side note: I performed in a solo

show as Abraham Lincoln, but I also

directed it, and directing one’s self is

entirely different from directing another

person.) Jeri recently retired and had

daytime availably, so we decided

that most of our rehearsals would

be during the day. We discussed the

frequency of rehearsals – should we

rehearse every day, or would it be

better to rehearse a few days a week

so that she could memorize on the off

days? Ultimately, we decided that we

would figure it out as we go. We would

adjust the process to suit what we

needed.

Our first rehearsal was just reading the

play out loud. I took note of words,

places, and people that I needed to

look up. Then we went our separate

ways and did our own research. We

read books, watched documentaries

and movies, and listened to interviews.

We started each rehearsal with sharing

some piece of information that we

had discovered since the last time

we met or a “light bulb moment”

about a poem. Unlocking the poetry

is the most challenging part, but we

talk it through, asking questions and

frequently what happened is Jeri

would throw out an idea about a word

or phrase, and my mind opened to the

rest of the poem. Emily Dickinson’s

poetry is exquisite.

What I have appreciated most about

this experience has been that our

respective impressions of Emily

Dickinson have changed during our

rehearsal period. Together, Jeri and I

have discovered that Emily Dickinson

was a radical who would not accept

the conventions of her time, and rather

than give in to something she didn’t

want, she took control of her own

narrative. When Jeri and I discussed

the question “What do you want

audiences to walk away with after

seeing this show,” Jeri said, “I think I

want them to have more questions.”

No one will ever know the true Emily

Dickinson, but I hope the play will

serve as a reminder for people to ask

questions of themselves and of each

other and to seek to understanding.

Emily Dickinson is a fascinatingly

complex human being. We each are.

See you at the theater!

THE BELLE OF AMHERST

DISCOVERY NIGHT

Tuesday, April 6 at 6 pm

Quincy Community Theatre

1qct.org or 217-222-3209

Live theatre returns to the stage April 14-

18 as QCT presents The Belle of Amherst,

a provocative one-woman show based on

the life Emily Dickinson. In her Amherst,

Massachusetts home, the reclusive

nineteenth-century poet Emily Dickinson

recollects her past through her poetry and

letters. The play, written by William Luce,

shows us both the pain and the joy of

Dickinson’s secluded life.

“What is revealed in The Belle of Amherst

is that Emily Dickinson is anything but a

pining poet, secluded in her little bedroom

in Massachusetts. She had drive and

could manipulate situations in order to

control her own narrative,” said artistic

director Brandon Thomsen. “No one will

ever know the absolute truth about her,

and that serves as a reminder that we

must always be willing to ask questions of

ourselves and seek to understand others.”

Told in two acts, this play gives a voice

to one of America’s most enigmatic and

eccentric poets. Drawing largely from

Emily’s poetry and letters, The Belle of

Amherst is a breathing autobiography of

a true nonconformist. Jeri Conboy plays

Emily Dickinson. The show will be directed

by Brandon Thomsen. Susan Scholz

serves as the costume designer and Lorne

Kelley serves as the scenic and lighting

designer.

Audiences will have an opportunity to learn

more about the show and Emily Dickinson

at Discovery Night which will take place

Tuesday, April 6 at 6 pm at the theatre.

The one hour event is free to attend. QCT

will also utilize its social media channels

to feature the production, historical

information, and more in the lead up to the

live production in April.

Tickets for The Belle of Amherst are $25

and may be purchased online at 1qct.org

or by calling the box office. Tickets to the

show will be sold as general admission

and seats will then be assigned by the

box office to ensure adequate distancing

is maintained. Audience sizes are limited

per the state’s guidelines. The theatre has

implemented new policies and procedures

to promote the safest environment

possible. To view the theatre’s complete

reopening plan, visit 1qct.org.

QCT Presents Wonderful Things, The Songs of Jerry Herman in May

WONDERFUL THINGS

May 13-16 & 20-23

Quincy Community Theatre

1qct.org or 217-222-3209

In Hello, Dolly!, the character Cornelius

Hackl exclaims, “Isn’t the world full of

wonderful things?!” As the world slowly

reopens after an arduous shutdown,

a reminder is needed that the world

is indeed full of wonderful things.

Quincy Community Theatre will present

“Wonderful Things: The Songs of Jerry

Herman,” May 13-16, 20-23. Artistic

Director Brandon Thomsen said, “When

thinking about what to present as live

theatre returns, I thought it important that

it be uplifting, with the audience going out

with smiles and wanting to spread joy.

When I think of joy and musical theatre,

I think of Broadway composer Jerry

Herman.”

Jerry Herman is the composer of the

Broadway classics Hello, Dolly!, Mame,

and La Cage aux Folles. “He wrote the

words and music to some of the greatest

musicals in history, and he also wrote

incredible scores to shows that did not

become hits,” said Thomsen, “and those

will be included, too. Like discovering

a great song on the radio, we hope

audiences will perk up and discover a

new tune that will resonate with them.”

Tickets for the musical revue are $25. The

Box Office will then assign seats to ensure

proper distancing is maintained. Audience

sizes are limited per the state’s guidelines,

and face coverings are required at all

times. Tickets to the general public go on

sale April 21. For more information, call

the QCT box office at 217-222-3209 or

visit 1qct.org.

“The Beat Goes On”

NEW FACES

Saturday, April 10 at 7 pm

qpsmusic.org

The tradition of Quincy Senior High

School New Faces Variety Show will

continue this year virtually. New Faces

has been a highlight of the QHS Music

Department programming since 1955

when then band director Mr. Dan Perrino

began the production to feature the QHS

Jazz Band and variety acts. In 1969

retired QHS Choral Director Mr. Dan

Sherman added the QHS Swing Choir

to the New Faces line-up, to round-out

the production format, a tradition that

continues today.

New Faces 2021, “The Beat Goes On,”

thematically represents the perseverance

and resiliency that has kept music alive in

QHS classrooms and virtually on the QHS

theatre stage during the global pandemic

when many school districts in Illinois and

across the country canceled music in

their schools.

Senior Tara Garner rehearses vocal solo “Don’t Rain on My Parade,”

made popular by the 1964 musical “Funny Girl.”

In February, QHS Students auditioned

to be included in this year’s virtual

production. Variety Acts include vocal

solos and duets, house/garage bands

and dramatic skits. Keeping with tradition,

QHS Jazz Bands and Show Choirs,

Company Blue and Electric Blue will be

featured along with the QHS Madrigal

Singers, QHS Senior Color Guard, QHS

Percussion and two area student dance

troupes, Q-Dance Senior Elite and Vancil

Performing Arts Center.

QHS Jazz Band will open the show with

jazz composer Paul Baker’s swing chart,

“Roll with the Punches,” exemplifying

the titles instruction to stay positive

and always adjust to what comes your

way. The Electric Blue mixed voices

Show Choir will kick off Act II with the

production’s title song, “The Beat Goes

On,” originally

performed by Sonny

and Cher. Other

highlights include the

Gloria Estefan’s 1994

hit, “Turn the Beat

Around,” performed

by Company Blue, the QHS treble voices

show choir.

The production team includes teachers

Mr. Matt Gabriel, Mrs. Meghan Buckley,

Mr. Paul Shelor, Mr. David Buckley and

QPS Director of Music Education Dr.

Todd Pettit.

Virtual tickets are $20, available at

qps.org. New Faces 2021 will be prerecorded

and will air on Saturday, April

10 at 7 pm at the link patrons will receive

upon purchasing tickets.

C-SC Prepares Audio Broadcast Concerts for May

POPS CONCERT

CAMERATA 808

Release date TBA

culver.edu

Pandemic distancing restrictions have

kept Culver-Stockton College choral and

instrumental ensembles away from the

public stage, but they have not stopped

the music. Safe behind duckbill singing

masks and instrument bell covers,

and shifting between rehearsal areas

in a choreography that honors mindful

togetherness in time and space, the

C-SC Collegiate, Concert and Chamber

Choirs as well as the Wind, Jazz and

Chamber Ensembles are preparing

concerts for audio broadcast in early May.

2021 is a year for C-SC Pops, and the

choirs, all directed by Dr. Scotty Allison,

feature a large dollop of popular music

in their repertoire mix that ranges from

Josquin to jazz. Beethoven’s glorious,

“Hallelujah from Mount of Olives,” pairs

delightfully with a vocal arrangement of,

“Symphony #5’s,” opening theme titled

“Beethoven’s A Cappella 5th.” Traditional

and modern settings of the hymn, “When

Jesus Wept,” by William Billings and by

Gwyneth Walker show the power of text

to move the soul in compositions old or

new. A highlight of the audio-concert will

be the African prayer, “Indodana,” which

the Collegiate Choir coached in a virtual

seminar with Dr. Allyss Haecker, who

has sung it with her choirs for Bishop

Desmond Tutu in his home parish.

Instrumental music moves in the spring

from full forces to diverse chamber

groupings, coming together at the end

of each semester for Camerata 808,

an avant garde experimental workshop

ensemble that explores the myriad, often

quirky, ways in which sound provides

a medium for shared experiential

expression for performers and audience

alike. Drs. Trent Hollinger and Aren

Van Houzen direct the ensembles and

facilitate Camerata 808.

Although distancing restrictions do not

allow off-campus audiences, C-SC

welcomes the public to listen to audio

broadcasts of concerts on the college

YouTube channel via a link that will be

announced closer to each performance’s

release date in May.

For further information, visit culver.edu.

All concerts are presented by the Culver-

Stockton College Music Department and

appear as part of C-SC’s Academic and

Cultural Events program.

6:30 pm in Madison Park. Our Sunday

and Wednesday concerts in July will

Quincy Teen

Voices

2020 was a year in which hardship

and injustice were thrown into sharp

relief, where personal struggle seemed

universal and social divides impossible

to bridge. In many ways, it was an

extraordinary year, but in others, the

critical issues of our day had lingered

beneath the surface for as long as the

country has existed.

Quincy Community Theatre received

an important grant to participate in,

“Healing Illinois,” a state-sponsored

initiative to support racial healing

projects across Illinois. Quincy was the

only community theatre to be honored

with this grant.

In partnership with Teen REACH and

led by director of education Brendan

Shea, QCT brought together a diverse

ensemble of nine brilliant and creative

teenagers from all over Quincy with the

goal of creating a short theatre piece

inspired by issues of social justice that

have permeated the headlines this past

year.

The teens began their journey by

distilling their thoughts and feelings

about the current social climate into

a single question: “How do we make

someone see their own self-worth?”

From there, they explored this question

using storytelling exercises, discussion

circles, writing prompts and improv

games. The group developed a short

theatre piece that combined the

personal with the political, as well as

introspection with an urgent call to

action. The ensemble’s work highlighted

how closely the divisions and conflicts

in today’s society are reflected in the

internal struggles that many teens face

in their communities.

QCT is proud to present the workin-progress

on its YouTube channel.

Typically, the organization never, “raises

the curtain,” on a performance until

it’s polished to a shine and ready for

an audience. But Quincy Teen Voices

highlights the process of theatre-making

as the product itself. The act of theatremaking

can promote healing, can lead

to revelation, and can spark discussions

that do not end when the curtain falls,

but continue to evolve and grow.

Theatre can take many forms and serve

many purposes. Whether that purpose is

to lift one’s spirits through a memorable

performance, to see the world in a new

light or to engage citizens to participate

in social change, the life-changing

potential of this beautiful art form is

undeniable. Therefore, it is only fitting to

conclude with a call to action from the

great Brazilian theatre maker Augusto

Boal, whose “Theatre of the Oppressed,”

provided a blueprint for impactful activist

theatre:

“Theatre is a form of knowledge; it

should and can also be a means of

transforming society. Theatre can help

us build our future, rather than just

waiting for it.”

The Healing Illinois grant is sponsored

by the Illinois Department of Human

Services in partnership with The Chicago

Community Trust.

Muralist Sought for Mt. Sterling

Action Brown County, in partnership with

Arts Quincy, is requesting proposals for a

mural to be painted in Mt. Sterling, Ill. The

deadline to submit a proposal is Friday,

April 30 by 12 pm.

The location of the mural is east of

the Veterans War Memorial which is

located at the corner of South Capitol

Ave. and East Main St. in the heart of

the town’s business district. The mural

would be painted on the west façade

of a chiropractor’s office. The area

measures approximately 120’ long

by 20’ tall (representing 2,400 square

feet of paintable space.) It is a huge

neighborhood canvas for the installation

of public art. The mural must be

completed by September 3, 2021.

The theme for the mural is a vibrant

scene representing a sense of community

that enhances the downtown area. The

committee would like the mural to be

a backdrop for photo opportunities for

visitors and residents which depicts a

vibrant community scene or rural motif.

Visit artsquincy.org to get a detailed

description of the project and how to

submit a proposal. For more information,

call Arts Quincy at 217-222-3432 or email

VISUAL ARTS

‘The Other Room’ Exhibits

African American Artists

‘Allegories of time,’ by Stanwyck Cromwell

“I am pleased to present The Other Room at the Quincy Art

Center,” Powell said. “Throughout my thirty-one years of presenting

art in an effort to foster a greater awareness of art created by

African American artists, I have asked exhibit viewers to name five

nationally-known African American visual artists, living or dead

that are as common as Picasso, Warhol, Dali, Koon and Monet.

Most cannot! The exhibit will feature art of artists that mainstream

publications have often overlooked,” he said.

“The Other Room,” features artists who have all received national,

and in some cases, international recognition. This African American

created-art showcases people seeking to tell their stories and

share memories of their journey through this time and space,

according to Powell.

This exhibit will be on display in person at the Quincy Art Center

and online at quincyartcenter.org. Hours are 1-4 pm on Tuesday,

Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday and by appointment. Call

217-223-5900 for further details.

Some pieces are for sale and students keep the majority

of the proceeds to jump start their art and design careers.

The college does retain a portion of each sale to enhance

the arts education program at JWCC through the JWCC

Foundation. The gallery is planning an award reception for

the artists with a date to be determined. The exhibit is open

through May 14.

For more information about the exhibit or to purchase

artwork, contact Jenna Seaborn, Heath Center Art Gallery

Curator, at artgallery@jwcc.edu or 217-653-3246. The Heath

Center Art Gallery is located on the lower-level of the Paul

New Art Studio

at Chaddock

People express themselves in different

ways, and the more opportunities they

have to get creative, the better their

chances of being happier, healthier and

better adjusted. This is especially true

for children at Chaddock, many of whom

are processing severe emotional trauma.

Visual art offers opportunities to express

emotions and offers healing. With this in

mind, Chaddock realized that the facility

needed a dedicated, creative space for

students.

Thanks to the generosity of several

individuals and organizations, a vacant

training room has been transformed

into a student art studio! New flooring,

cabinets and fixtures have been installed

and the space gives Chaddock kids

additional ways to be creative.

“Many children with traumatic histories

have difficulty finding words to express

how they feel about what happened

to them,” said Chaddock’s Director of

Clinical Practice, Karen Buckwalter.

Before (top) and after (bottom).

“Art provides a beautiful way for them

to share their internal world without the

burden of finding the right words.”

Debbie Reed, Chaddock President

and CEO, added, “As we develop a

comprehensive program for using the

creative arts to help our children work

through the challenges they have faced,

we’re grateful for the community support

of our art studio. Providing opportunities

for creative expression in the studio is an

important step in helping our children on

their healing journeys.”

LAYERS OF THE EARTH

CUPCAKES

Ingredients & Supplies

• 1 box white or French vanilla cake mix

• 1 package sugar cookie dough mix

• 25 Oreos or chocolate sandwich cookies

• 12 Tbsp butter

• 4 large eggs

• ½ cup vegetable oil

• 1 cup water

• 1 tub of whipped milk chocolate frosting

• Red & yellow food coloring

• Blue & green gel food coloring

• 24 white cupcake wrappers

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line

two cupcake pans with the white

wrappers/liners and set aside.

2. In a large bowl, prepare the

sugar cookie dough according to

package instructions. It includes

the package contents, 1 egg, and

½ cup (8 Tbsp.) of butter). Once

it is mixed completely, divide the

dough between two bowl and

use the colored gel to dye one

portion of dough blue and one

portion of dough green. Place

the bowls of dough in the fridge

to cool and stiffen so that it is less

sticky to form into cookies.

3. While the cookie dough is

cooling … In a large bowl, mix

together the cake mix, 3 eggs,

1 cup water, and ½ cup oil until

smooth. Divide the batter into

two bowls. Add a few drops of

yellow food coloring to one bowl

and red food coloring to the other

bowl. Mix each bowl until the

color is fully combined.

4. Cush or grind the Oreos. Pour

them into a bowl and add 4

Tbsp. melted butter. Stir together

until well mixed. Take about a

teaspoon of Oreo mixture and

press into the bottom of each

cupcake wrapper (just enough for

a layer covering the entire bottom

of the cupcake). If you have

some of the mixture left over after

making a crust in all 24 cupcakes,

you can add a little more to each

one.

5. Add a spoonful of red batter

to each cupcake. Then add a

spoonful of yellow batter to each

cupcake. Each cupcake should

now have three layers; the crust,

a red layer, and a yellow layer.

Bake for

18 to 20

minutes

or until a

toothpick

inserted in

the middle

comes out

clean. Remove from oven and

allow to cool completely.

6. While the cupcakes are

baking … Remove the chilled

cookie dough from the fridge. To

shape the cookie, grab a small

amount of blue dough and a

small amount of green dough

and roll both into one ball so you

end up with a swirled pattern.

The total ball will be about a

tablespoon of dough. (I usually

make all 24 dough balls before

I bake any so I can make sure

they all end up being a similar

size.) Place on a baking sheet

lined with parchment paper and

bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove

from oven and allow to cool

completely.

7. Once cupcakes and cookies

are completely cool, frost each

cupcake with the whipped

chocolate frosting and top each

one with a cookie.

8. Enjoy!

Historical Society Reopening Properties to the Public

Following a year-long closure, the Historical Society of Quincy and Adams County

has recently reopened the Governor John Wood Mansion to the public and

this April, visitors will be welcomed to tour the History Museum on the Square

in person! During the closure, the exhibits committee took the opportunity to

prepare new installations at the History Museum on the Square including ‘Road

to Freedom’ and ‘Golden Age of Quincy.’ Both exhibits include great stories,

interesting artifacts and feature many connections to local history.

HISTORY MUSEUM REOPENING

Friday, April 23 from 4-7 pm

GOLDEN AGE OF QUINCY

Sunday, May 2 at 1 & 3 pm

& Sunday, June 27 (Time TBD)

History Museum, 332 Maine St.

hsqac.org or 217-222-1835

The public is invited to celebrate the

reopening of the museum on Friday,

April 23 during a reception from 4-7

pm. That evening will also kick-off the

organization’s annual membership

drive. After the reception, the museum

will resume regular hours of Tuesday-

Saturday from 10 am-4 pm.

As visitors explore these treasured

properties and collections, they will

find the new Ernest Wood addition to

the building that features “The Road to

Freedom,” installation. This fascinating

exhibit will give visitors insight to ways

local pioneers

contributed to

the success of

the Underground

Railroad system

through Western

New Philadelphia near

Barry, in Pike County

in 1839. In addition,

Dr. David Nelson, the

‘Free’ Frank McWorter

founder of the Mission

Institute in Quincy, is featured as an

influence to teachers and students.

The first floor of the museum also holds

the new installation the ‘Golden Age

of Quincy: 1870s-1900.’ This exhibit

explores a time of rapid growth and

expansion of Quincy. With access to the

Mississippi River and abundant natural

resources, the town quickly developed

economically and provided opportunities

for families to set roots.*

The second floor of the museum offers

more installations including new pieces

of artwork by Edward Everett, the

Stained Glass Gallery, the interactive

Window onto the Square display, a new

addition that looks into Quincy’s Jewish

community and much more. Outside the

museum, visitors will find an incredible

sculpture garden and memorial plaza.

the Golden Age of Quincy. The first

History Museum on the Square, 332 Maine St.

program, on Sunday, May 2, will have two

sessions to adhere to health regulations

with the first session beginning at 1 pm

and the second session starting at 3

pm. The second program will be held

on Sunday, June 27 with the time still to

be determined. Call 217-222-1835 to

The idea for Wandering Wednesday

came from a Quincy Preserves meeting

where board member Amanda VanNessI

mentioned that since Covid precautions

started, she and her kids and dog go on

rides around town everyday. She found

herself looking at the intricate details of

buildings around town. There are beautiful

buildings scattered throughout Quincy

and even on structures in need of rehab,

you can find stunning architectural details.

H

I

Now, Amanda posts a small detail from

her “wandering” on Facebook and

Instagram each week and people are

invited to guess the location of the photo.

“I try to do a mix of some that are

pretty easy, but I also like to make them

tricky,” she explains, “and I love to see

the amazing conversations around

each photo. It’s great to see everyone

reminiscing about the fun times they had

in that building or with people they know

who have a connection to a structure.”

Quincy Preserves invites you to slow

down and wander when you’re moving

J K L

around town because you can notice

details from Quincy’s past every day! The

city has an amazing architectural legacy

that is an art form all its own.

Quincy Preserves has not been able

to hold normal home and garden tours

due to Covid, but hope to start things

up again this fall in some capacity. The

Downtown Walking Tour in June of 2020

THEATER

Spring Awakening in Hybrid Form at C-SC

SPRING AWAKENING

April 9 & 10 at 7:30 pm

Sunday, April 11 at 3 pm

Alexander Campbell Auditorium at C-SC (students &

staff only)

The public can watch live on YouTube!

Basic Kneads

Massage Therapy & Reflexology

It is Germany, 1891, a world where the grown-ups hold all the

cards. Underneath a veneer of tight control, adolescent passions

roil and noble intentions warp into meaningless strictures in

Culver-Stockton College Theatre Department’s production of

Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater’s award winning musical Spring

Awakening. Based on the 1891 play of the same name by German

pre-Expressionist playwright Frank Wedekind, this journey from

adolescence to adulthood fuses poignancy with passion and

morality with sexuality in a musical setting of modern ballad and

driving rock that reflects and echoes the ageless turmoil of coming

of age.

Performances of Spring Awakening will be on April 9-11 in

Alexander Campbell Auditorium for C-SC students, faculty, and

staff. Because of pandemic distancing restrictions, no off-campus

audience will be permitted. However, the public is welcome to

each performance as it is streamed live on the C-SC Theatre

YouTube channel (stay tuned for details.)

Laura Long - Licensed Massage Therapist

2533 N 12th - Quincy, IL

Please call for an appointment 222-0227

Directed by Dr. Haidee Heaton, Professor of Theatre, with musical

direction by Dr. Scotty Allison, Assistant Professor of Music

and production design by Seth Campbell, Assistant Professor

of Theatre, each performance will emphasize the timelessness

of themes by utilizing a spectrum of dramatic techniques from

ancient Greek masking to modern digital projections. For further

information, check the C-SC website and the Arts-Quincy Spotlight

as performance dates approach. Spring Awakening appears as

part of C-SC’s Academic and Cultural Events program.

Spotlight

Allen and Alison

Shafer

We are enthusiastic

supporters of the arts. One of

us began the arts journey at

the age of five as a dancing

bunny in her debut recital.

The other moved from

observer to participant a bit

later in life as Waiter #2 in

his high school production of

Hello Dolly.

When we moved to Quincy a few years ago, among many

things, we were impressed with the vibrancy of, and support

for, the arts community. We knew that a community with over

sixty arts and cultural organizations and holding the distinction

of having America’s first arts council is a community that

values the arts and is a place that aligns with our values in

upholding the arts as part of a dynamic community.

Both of us come from families of artists including amateur

and professional, visual and performing artists. Alison’s life

has been defined through art as a performer and director/

choreographer including recent collaborations with Quincy

Community Theatre. The arts have been and still are an

important part of our families, and we know they are an

important part of Quincy’s families we well.

We do not take the existence and contributions the arts make

to our community for granted. The arts need the support

of our time and financial resources. These are some of the

reasons we gladly choose to support Arts Quincy.
