Q&A with Legacy Project Coordinator Julia Teuschler
What do you consider the key accomplishment of your Legacy Project?
- Reconnect the local community to the importance of Brookville as the birthplace of author Lew Wallace and his world renowned book BenHur: A Tale of The Christ. Using a play genre, Lew's life was affected forever by his mother reading the Gospel of Mathew 2 to him as a child.
Describe a highlight or most memorable moment related to your Legacy Project.
- Performing it as an interactive Readers Theater in a building he and his family would have visited, the (Goodwin Family) Old Brick Church in the Brookville Cemetery, 2019 West 10th Street, Brookville, IN. 47012. 7:30 p.m. Dec. 30, 2016
How/where are you preserving information and artifacts related to your Legacy Project.
- Script copies with bibliography and staging drawings are available. Probably in the Brookville Library, though this is not established yet. I have not made a digital copy of my music CD or bulletin board pictures. It should be done.
