If you have been to Nauvo you may have visted the Cultural Hall. On April 24, 1844 a historical play, a tragedy in five acts entitled Pizarro was presented to discharge of a debt against President Joseph Smith "contracted through the odious persecutions of Missouri and vexations law suits." A. Lyman along with other prominent names were cast members.

Dear Administrator of the George & Sadie Frey Family page: I’m intrigued by the clipping here with the heading “Cultural Hall,” and where it came from. The original broadside for the play (1844), archived at the Missouri Historical Society, advertises the venue as “MASONIC HALL.” The building that now stands in Nauvoo was never called the “Cultural Hall” until the former Nauvoo Restoration, Inc. re-named it in 1971. May I ask where this clipping (above) came from? Any information you can provide would be very helpful.
