I am assuming anyone from the public can go to the play?? Considering they did use local tax dollars to help fund it
ReplyDeleteActually it is not tax dollars. It is a grant from the Evansville Fund and/or the Millie Tait Foundation. Not public entities.
ReplyDeleteWell, just for fun I typed in Leota which I attended in the 1950's --I was surprised to find several links to people who attended (names I didn't recognize). I thought the school closed after I left but apparently not!
ReplyDeleteThe information about a play and the history of the school is from a year ago but I thought I would give you my name if you want to contact folks about the school in the old days!

Hi--I attended Leota in the 1950's and would be intrigued to hear from others--your play info is from a year ago but thought I would post anyway--the names that appear on classmates.com are not folks I recognize...
