ESCANABA — October has arguably been the busiest month for Players de Noc over the past three years. With the season opener taking the first two weekends, the group’s historical cemetery walk on the following weekend and The Night of Magic and Wizardry finishing the month. In order to ease some of that workload for Players’ members and volunteers, Playing Dead: A Cemetery Walk with Players de Noc has been moved to July 16, 19 and 20 this year.

Adjusting the schedule to have Playing Dead in July will also allow tourists and other summer travelers the opportunity to take part in the walk. Tickets are $17 and can be purchased online at http://www.playersdenoc.org or at Lakeview Cemetery during the event. This is also where the walk takes place. Tours leave every 10 minutes starting at 7 p.m. Another change in the schedule is a Tuesday night series of tours. The first few tours this night have been pre-booked by a group traveling to Delta County next week. Players de Noc is once again excited to partner with the Lakeview Cemetery Board for this event.
