Costumed actors present 10 graveside acc

Costumed actors present 10 graveside accounts based on real life Alaskans and their experiences. The stories range from tragic to tender, humorous to sensational and present life as it was in the last frontier. Each story is repeated throughout the evening from 6 – 8 p.m. near the final resting place of the people featured. All the stories are based on public records or known facts with the exception of supporting dialog to enhance the tale. Best entry is the John Bagoy Gate at the corner of Seventh and Cordova Streets. Free to the public but donations for the actors are appreciated.
