North Idaho College’s 30th annual Popcorn Forum, in which actors portray famous people in history, begins Monday.

The program will feature performances by members of the NIC faculty and staff in this year’s event, titled, “Conversations with Famous Historical Characters.”

The event begins at noon in the Lake Coeur d’Alene Room of the Edminster Student Union Building. It is free and open to the public.

Among the faculty members portraying historical figures are: Allie Vogt, playing American muralist Georgia O’Keefe; Annie McKinley as actress Mae West; George Ives as writer Ernest Hemingway; and Dr. Virginia Johnson as English author and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. NIC secretary Linda Erickson will portray British Queen Boadicea, from the first century A.D.
