Village of McHenry Shores Inge Aide 344-1984 with James Kenna of McHenry County college serving as technical director. Drs. Wesley and Marie Ann Vos, Crystal Lake, who are the general co-chairpersons of the entire CIR program, are in charge of musical preparation for Noye's Fludde. According to Dr. Marie Ann Vos, "The music is absolutely beautiful. It is the kind of thing that will have a strong emotional effect on the audience-participants." Why does she use the term ' 'audience-participants" ? "Because," explains Dr. Vos, "this is not a passive show. There are several instances where the audience becomes part of the drama by joining the cast and orchestra in ap­ propriate hymns." Members of various county children's church choirs will act as the animals, numbering 140 complete with animal heads. And what about the ark? "It will appear right before your very eyes!" promises Dr. Vos. Tickets will be available before the performance from McHenry residents Mrs. Hugh (Eleanor) Locker and John Leighty. All cast and orchestra members will also have tickets. Tickets also may be purchased at the door on performance nights. Grants from the Illinois Arts council, an agency of the state, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, have established partial fun­ ding for the CIR program. Additional support for the national pilot project has come from the Woodstock Fine Arts association and private con­ tributors. The Great Lakes contain about half of the fresh water supply on earth.
