"Vincent Marmaduke - The Confederacy's James Bond" Museum after Hours -- March 6
Time: 5-9 p.m.
Location: Missouri State Museum, located on the 1st floor of the Missouri State Capitol
Description: In March, the Missouri State Museum will continue to have "Museum After Hours" on the first Wednesday of each month, when museum galleries will stay open until 9pm. Also, at 7 pm on Wednesday, March 6th, guest speaker Mike Dickey, site administrator of Arrow Rock State Historic Site, will present a program called "Vincent Marmaduke - The Confederacy's James Bond." Vincent Marmaduke was the descendant of a powerful family dynasty from Arrow Rock. His family included a major-general in the Confederacy and multiple Missouri governors. Vincent studied law at Yale but chose instead to become a gentleman farmer. Local history merely states that he was wronged by federal authorities in the Civil War, banished from Missouri and briefly served as a Confederate artillery officer. But who was he really? As a member of the Confederate Secret Service, he was involved in one of the most daring and desperate plots in the waning days of the Confederacy. This program will explore the largely unknown role of Vincent Marmaduke in the Civil War and will take place in the museum classroom, which is located in the History Hall (east wing).

Time: Thursday and Friday at 7:30pm, Saturday matinee at 2:00pm
Location: Stained Glass Theater, 830 E. High St.
Description: Marcellus, a young Roman officer, has been exiled. In Jerusalem, it becomes his duty to crucify a Galilean. Although he believes the man innocent, he obeys. He also tosses dice for the simple homespun robe which the Galilean wore. He wins but becomes a desperately troubled man, restless and obsessed with thoughts of the Galilean and the persecuted Christians. Marcellus turns more and more to the Galilean but hesitates to accept Him as divine until, in a final scene of emotion and power, he accepts death for himself and his young wife rather than renounce his faith.
