About This Event

The Heart of a Grand Old Town: the Voices of Expo ‘74

A Reader’s Theatre Oral History Project

Gonzaga University Dept of History and Gonzaga Theatre present a Reader’s Theatre performance commemorating Expo ’74. Using original oral histories of those who organized and experienced the Expo, performers recount the motives for the Expo, its development, and visitors’ experiences as well as the Expo’s lasting impact on the Spokane region. Gonzaga students researched original sources, wrote the script, and perform this event, sponsored by Gonzaga University.
