Inquiring Mind Program Will Display Talents Of Speakers

The 12th-annual Inquiring Mind Dress Rehearsal opens a three-day run Thursday in Spokane at Cavanaugh’s River Inn.

This program is funded by the Washington Commission for the Humanities. During the three days, speakers will give their presentations. The purpose is twofold: Speakers get an opportunity to run through their presentations; those groups who might want to book any of the speakers for an event in their town will have a chance to see the speaker in action.

And the rest of the spectators benefit from the chance to hear all of the speakers in one place.

Spectators can register to hear all of the presentations for $100; to attend any single presentation, admission’s $7.

Included on the list this year are four Spokane speakers: Sara Edlin-Marlowe, Gonzaga University director of theater; poet Anita Endrezze, Whitworth College music department chairman Dick Evans and Whitworth College communications professor Gordon Jackson.

The conference runs from 8:15 a.m.-9 p.m. Thursday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. April 28 and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 29.

For information about breakfast, lunch and dinner presentations or about registering, call the Washington Commission for the Humanities, (206) 682-1770.
