Throughout the weekend of Oct. 2, the Marion Music Hall Advisory and Gala Committee will celebrate Elizabeth Taber’s generosity.

On Friday and Saturday evening, as well as Sunday afternoon, the Marion Music Hall Advisory and Gala Committee will present the musical “Our Fair Lady” celebrating Elizabeth Taber and the 125th birthday of the Marion Music Hall.

This production will feature the Occasion Singers with Eric Bosworth, Kimberly Teves and Carl Denney. The book and lyrics are by Barbara Gee, and music direction is by Cassandra Morgan.

Tickets are $20 each and people are encouraged to get them soon as organizers are anticipating three sell out performances. Tickets are available at The Bookstall, Marion General Store and the Town House. Because this is a town sponsored event, tickets must be paid for with checks only.

Marion has a long colorful history in which many well-known people make an appearance. Among these historical luminaries, the person whose care, concern and character arguably made the most impact on Marion was Elizabeth Taber.

The Marion Music Hall, the Elizabeth Taber Library, the Natural History Museum, the Congregational Church Chapel, the Marion Horse Trough, Marion Town House and Tabor Academy were all established because of Taber’s direct support.
