Albert Sutton
HOOD RIVER — Timewinder Tales, the newest version of The History Museum of Hood River County’s long-running annual Cemetery Tales event, debuts Sept. 22 at the museum, located at 300 E Port Marina Drive.
This live, theatrical production casts local actors to portray historical figures of the past to educate, entertain and share the rich community’s history, said a museum press release.
This year’s characters and stories are related to the theme of built environments and architecture. The performances will include stories by Yakama Elder Galen Yallup, and portrayals of Albert Sutton, a famed architect who left his mark on Hood River, Mona Bell Hill and Elsie “Babe” Tenney, two interesting and colorful women who lived in the Gorge and had connections to the people and buildings in Hood River.
Performances will be held Sept. 22-23 and Sept. 29-30 at 7 p.m., with a matinee performance Sept. 24 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20, on sale at the museum or online at www.hoodriverhistorymuseum.org/timewinder-tales. Refreshments will be available, including beer and wine for sale. Doors will open 30 minutes prior to the performance time.
For those wanting to dive further into the Timewinder experience, wearing clothing from another era — or a splash of history with a vintage item — is encouraged.
