NEW ALBANY — A fundraiser for WhoDunnit, Inc., “Haunted Mansion: The Ghost Hunter’s Curse,” will be performed at the Pepin Mansion in New Albany on Wednesday, Oct. 28, and Friday, Oct. 30, of Halloween week, according to Develop New Albany’s website.

This is not your average haunted house — it includes a mystery to solve.

Search for clues. Ask questions of the ghosts and learn their dark secrets. Then put the pieces together to solve the mystery.

The story:

A ghost hunter has come to investigate tales of paranormal phenomena at the mansion. The legend is that four people each spent the night there but then were gone in the morning — disappeared without a trace. When the door to their room was opened, a black cat jumped off the bed, strode calmly down the hall and out the front door. There were no cats in residence at the time.

There are indeed four ghosts, each from a different time period. Three of them are reasonably benign, and presumably welcome to stay. One, however, is an evil spirit who must be outed as such and banished before he or she can wreak havoc and destruction. But which one?

It’s scary ... it’s delightfully funny ... and it’s a great evening’s entertainment.

Turn down the volume NEW ALBANY — The Theatre Department at Indiana University Southeast will present the classic comedy, “Noises Off,” by Michael Frayn, Thursday through Saturday, November 5-7 at 8 p.m., Sunday, November 8 at 2:30 p.m., Thursday through Saturday, November 12-14 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, November 15 at 2:30 p.m. in the Robinson Theater of Ogle Center on the IU Southeast campus, 4201 Grant Line Road in New Albany.

Called “the funniest farce ever written,” (The New York Post) “Noises Off” presents a manic menagerie as a cast of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On. Doors slamming, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.

The New York Times says “Noises Off” is “the most dexterously realized comedy ever about putting on a comedy.

A spectacularly funny, peerless backstage farce. This dizzy, well-known romp is festival of delirium.”

Spring St., New Albany • INFO: carnegiecenter.org NEW ALBANY — The Carnegie Center for Art and History in New Albany will unveil to the public a new audio presentation for the permanent exhibit “Remembered, the Life of Lucy Higgs Nichols.” Since 2012, the Carnegie Center’s exhibition on the remarkable life story of Lucy Higgs Nichols has added a very human chapter to the award-winning companion exhibit “Ordinary People, Extraordinary Courage: Men and Women of the Underground Railroad,” according to a Carnegie news release.

In the new audio presentation, participants first encounter Lucy Higgs and Calvin Higgs and their young daughter Mona as runaway slaves seeking escape from bondage during the Civil War. Their escape to the Union Army lines led to a chance meeting with the soldiers of the Indiana 23rd Regiment that took them

Lucy befriended these soldiers, and after enduring many Civil War hardships together, Lucy eventually settled in New Albany for the rest of her life, along with many of the soldiers returning there. Their story, however, does not end there.

For the first time, the public will be able to hear Lucy’s amazing life story with its many twists and turns. Solid Light Inc., the original exhibition design team responsible for both exhibits on the Underground

Railroad, has created an audio experience to accompany the original text and photography driven presentation of “Remembered, the Life of Lucy Higgs Nichols.”

Drawing from real life depositions, recorded statements, newspaper articles, and a pinch of imagination, history comes to life, unfolding the true tale of Lucy Higgs Nichols and the men of the Indiana 23rd Regiment.

This event is free and open to the public, no reservations needed, and light refreshments will be served.

A beacon of light NEW ALBANY — New Albany’s historic Town Clock Church will receive the benefits of a charity gospel concert staged by one of Southern Indiana’s top choral programs.

The 16th rendition of New Albany High School’s Gospelfest will present Jeffersonville’s Chamber Singers and the NAHS Acappella Singers and Camerata Singers performing traditional and original gospel works, several composed by festival resident-artist Roosevelt Escalante Jr. The concert, at 7 p.m. tonight, Thursday, will be at Second Baptist Church, 300 E. Main St., New Albany. The church will be taking up a free-will collection benefiting the clock tower restoration fund. More information is available by calling 812-981-7648.

The concert will raise funds to help restore the original 150-foot-tall clock tower that was a prominent landmark on the Underground Railroad for escaping slaves. The church, dating to 1849, was named the Second Presbyterian Church, reflecting a split within New Albany’s Presbyterian congregation concerning the aggressiveness of their stances against slavery. In 1889, the church was renamed the Second Baptist

The event will be led by Escalante, Morehead State University’s assistant director of choral activities, with New Albany choirs prepared by the school’s director of choral activities, Linda DeRungs; and Jeffersonville’s Chamber Singers prepared by Leslie Rajchel.

Gospelfest has presented traditional, contemporary and premiere works during its 16-year history. Founded by DeRungs, the festival has featured choirs from Kentucky and Indiana churches, and has presented original works by Escalante, who is an active composer, conductor and choral clinician.

Escalante conducts Morehead State’s Black Gospel Choir, University Chorus, and teaches voice and choral methods.

FIBER: Oaks says interest 'comes in waves' CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4

Resurgence of a dyeing art

Interest in the fiber arts “seems to come in waves,” Oakes said. “When I really got into the spinning and the dyeing and the sheep and all that it was in the ’70s. It was real big and then it kind of died off.”

Then, more recently, “there was the scarf craze. Now it seems like dyeing fibers is getting to be real big.

There’s a sort of a resurgence of all that, which is great, we love it.”

The movement could have staying power.

“It’s the farm to table movement — I think people are going back to it,” said Julie Schweitzer, director of the arts council. “People are interested in sustainability, the natural dyes.”

“There’s a return to that, and we have always supported environmental issues. I don’t think I’ve ever met an artist that wasn’t environmentally aware in some way. It’s because we’re so tied to the Earth. Stone comes from the Earth, clay. Fiber comes from animals,” she said.

Lea Vollmer, owner of Ginger Cat Knits in Evansville, will be a vendor at the festival offering ready-made items along with a few supplies.

“I think that the interest is always there,” she said. “For a long time weaving was sort of out, now it’s making a comeback. Things like crochet and knitting are kind of staples.

I knit or crochet for pleasure or to make gifts for people. I don’t see interest in this kind of thing going away any time soon.

“We live in such a busy society now I think it’s sometimes difficult for people to ditch the cellphone, put it down and do something else.

The flipside of that is that people are finding that sitting down and doing something with their hands is relaxing. It lowers your blood pressure.

I think in this day and age, people have to make more of a conscious effort to sit down and do it.”

An art club legacy

The Southern Indiana Fiber Arts Festival was the brainchild of Victoria Smith, who died in June. A

portion of the festival proceeds will go to a scholarship for her 11-yearold daughter Peggy.

“A while back Victoria came in here with Peggy. She wanted to start an art club for girls,” Schweitzer said. “She was as really shy little girl who wanted to meet more girls her age that enjoyed art.”

The club, Heart for Art Girls Club,

started slow, but has kept growing.

The club meets in the arts council’s carriage house. Two upcoming four-week projects are being planned for November – jewelry making and a Little Free Library structure.

“We really miss Victoria,” Schweitzer said. “But the fiber festival is going to keep going. The art club is going to keep going.”
