Tonight will be the last of the "Rock Of Ages" presentations. I'm portraying the character, 'Elizabeth Lee', the first female to ever explore Lower Cave. Our dress rehearsal was a week ago, and John was our unofficial photographer. Last night was our first performance for the public. It went pretty well.
In case you're not familiar, it was a program that ran in the early days up until 1944 when crowds became too large. Back then, visitors were escorted through the cave, then they would turn out all the lights and sing 'Rock of Ages' at the large formation which bears the same name. Now, we lead visitors through the cave using lanterns. Staff portray historical characters at different spots in the 'Big Room'. It's fun and an interesting way to view the cave. At the Rock of Ages formations, all larnterns are extinguished, and in total darkness, one of the staff members sings "Rock of Ages". After the solo, they turn the lights on and visitors exit the cave with modern lighting.
Here are a few pictures from our dress rehearsal...
That's all for now...
Love,
VAL & JOHN
