Good morning, Muncie.

Muncie Civic Theatre is showing the musical 1776 from today to June 29.

The production is directed by Michael O’Hara and led by musical director Michael Williamson and features Civic veterans Matt and Margaret Reeder with their son Graham as Thomas Jefferson, with performances on Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m.

Luray was founded in 1836 and once served as a busy crossroads for travelers between Muncie and New Castle with a school, post office, and many local businesses.

The town later lost its hustle when railroads bypassed it—yet its rich history and beautiful valley remain part of its legacy.

The BlackRock Foundation gave a $500,000 grant to Cradle to Career Muncie on June 11 to start Freshman and Career Academies at Muncie Central High School and boost graduation rates from 86% to 95% by 2029.

The grant will help 1,317 students over two years by paying for career coaching—teacher training, classroom supplies and bus help—using a model that worked well in Nashville.

Muncie Central hosted the IHSAA boys golf regional at The Players Club on Thursday, June 12 where teams from the area—Noblesville, Hamilton Southeastern, and Cathedral—competed to earn spots in the state finals.
