What is a sound and light show?
This type of sound and light show is modeled after
European productions that are presented annually at the Lourve in
Paris and at the Coliseum in Rome. Similar shows were presented at
the United States Capitol and at Independence Hall in Philadelphia
during the Bicentennial year.
What will it look like?
The main facade of the courthouse building would
become the actual stage for the event and the audience would sit
before the courthouse on the lawn just as the audience attends the
annual Sweetcorn festival in August. See
grounds setup diagram
.
During the performance, dramatic and powerful
lighting washes the face of the building with spectacular colors and
effects. Live pantomime actors bring life scenes from history.
Periodically, silhouettes appear in windows while large video
screens, and other special effects are used to tell the story of the
history of Marshall County and Marshalltown through vignettes, music,
and beauty. The courthouse literally comes alive before the
audience!
