The Commonweal Theatre, located in historic downtown Lanesboro, will hold a special ceremony on Saturday, July 7 at 11 a.m. to unveil a vertical banner which will hang from the Manion Law office building directly south of the theatre. The creation and unveiling of the banner is the culmination of a successful collaboration between the theatre company and the Lanesboro Public Schools art classes headed up by Stena Lieb. In honor of the Commonweal’s 30th season, Lanesboro students designed and produced original theatrical masks using the inspiration of the popular Greek tragedy and comedy masks. The student’s masks currently hang in the Events Hall of the theatre and each appears on the banner which will be a permanent fixture on the Manion building.
The July 7 unveiling event and will be attended by Ms. Lieb as well as attorney Tom Manion. There is no charge to attend and all are welcome, including Lanesboro Schools art students and their families.
