Long Beach's two oldest cemeteries
transform into a Living History tour. It
has grown into a local cultural
phenomenon that brings the cemetery to
near capacity with living people
strolling about listening to tales of
the dead. Strolling amidst the old
tombstones, tour participants gather at
selected grave stops to hear first hand
tales that every cemetery plot has a
story. The tour's volunteer actors come
from all walks of life. They include
teachers, retirees, business
professionals and even a politician. Over
the years, these individuals have ranged
from historical figures who helped shape
the city's political past to ordinary
people whose stories remind us that rich
or poor, well-known or barely
remembered, everyone has a story to
tell. The inhabitants of the graves are
represented as authentically as possible
by actors wearing period costumes and
speaking in the first person of
themselves and their times. Every script
is researched by a historian using the HSLB
archives, newspaper accounts and primary
resources. Many cast members are
professional actors.
