The Good Harbor Hill Payers' goal is to bring our community together to create a show which illuminates and celebrates the richness of life here on Lake Superior's North Shore. Measurable outcomes include our continued ability to attract both citizen artists and audience members from diverse backgrounds and age groups. We evaluate the success of our endeavor by the numbers of participants in our workshops and the audience numbers we attract. We review videos of the performance for artistic merit and audience reaction.
The Good Harbor Hill Payers' goal is to bring our neighbors together to celebrate Life, as experienced in various seasons, the natural world, and the history and lore of our home here on Lake Superior. Measurable outcomes include our continued ability to attract both citizen artists and audience members from diverse backgrounds and age groups. This year we created a 30 minute, original, outdoor puppet pageant titled "Coverest Thyself with Light". We portrayed Grand Marais' first lighthouse keeper, Joseph Mayhew, in a Rip Van Winkle scenario. Joseph was the lighthouse keeper 120 years ago, but we introduced him in a modern day traffic jam. The performance featured live music, performers on stilts and and a wide array of puppets and masks. Over fifty individuals attended our free puppet workshops, where we created the puppets, masks and costumes used in the performance. Almost all of these workshop volunteers continued on to rehearsal and performed in the pageant. Approximately 1100 people came to watch the final performance. The performance is available on YouTube.
