'Our Fair Lady' performance to celebrate Elizabeth Taber's legacy

Sep 3, 2015

Many fascinating women have been remembered in Broadway musicals such as “Unsinkable Molly Brown,” “Evita” and “Annie Get Your Gun.” Now, the Marion Music Hall’s 125th anniversary celebration will feature a concert musical, “Our Fair Lady,” in honor of Elizabeth Taber.

Kim Teves, a soprano actress, will sing the role of Elizabeth with Carl Denney in the role of Clark Howland, the first headmaster of Tabor Academy. The Occasion Singers, directed by Cassandra Morgan, will tell the story of the village folks, then and now.

The Music Hall was donated and endowed by Elizabeth Taber, along with the town library, the Natural History Museum, the Congregational Chapel, the Town House and Tabor Academy. The Music Hall will be dressed up for the occasion with new landscaping, interior décor and vintage costumes.

The show is sponsored by the Music Hall Advisory Committee and the town of Marion.

Tickets cost $20 and must be purchased via check. Tickets are on sale at the Marion Bookstall, the Marion General Store, Serendipity, the Town House and the Elizabeth Taber Library. Performances are set for Friday, Oct. 2 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 3 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 4 at 2 p.m.
