LiFT Performing ‘A Little Falls Historical Pageant’ Readings

When the Lift Lock was dedicated in 1916, the citizens of Little Falls put on a major civic pageant show to commemorate the event. 100 years later, A Little Falls Historical Pageant will be returning to Little Falls.On Saturday, November 5th at 2:00 pm, LiFT Theater Company and Little Falls Public Library are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the pageant. The original pageant in 1916 featured over 500 actors and was organized by over 100 Little Falls residents.

Josephine Wilhelm Hard of Buffalo was the original writer of this play. Linda Vincent of Little Falls found a copy of the original program and has given it to the theater. Angela Harris, has adapted the 1916 piece for a readers’ theater presentation of this piece of Little Falls’ past.
