"Vintage Voices is all about bringing local history to life through storytelling. Every year, we hold open auditions to find people excited to help write and perform the stories of those we're featuring in this year's event. Auditions are simple – just a cold read from a script we’ll give you. Hope to see you in June!" said Diana Enloe, Co-Director of Vintage Voices.
The annual event consists of walking tours held in the Alton Cemetery (5th and Vine Streets) with actors in period costumes telling the story of Altonians who have shaped the area’s history. The tour dates are Oct. 4, 5, 11, 12, 2025, beginning at noon daily. Tours depart from the main gate on Vine Street every 15-20 minutes.
A non-walking performance is planned for Sunday, October 5, 2025 – details to come.
