WQPT Debuts Havencrest Castle Documentary At Savanna Times Theater Monday
The Savanna Times Theater in Savanna, Illinois is the site for a preview screening of WQPT’s newest documentary “Havencrest Castle: A Very Special Place.” The screening takes place on December 6 at 6:30 pm and is free to the public.
“We are delighted to provide a sneak peek of our newest documentary to the citizens of Savanna,” said producer Lora Adams. “We also want to thank the folks at the Savanna Times Theater located at 222 W Main St, Savanna, IL for providing the location.”
The film took much longer to complete due to Covid. “We interviewed Alan several years ago and had hoped to finish the film that same year. However, it took an additional 18 months to finally get the chance to finish taping and to edit the documentary,” said Adams. The film covers the history of the house and the story of Alan and Adrienne St. George as they purchased the home known as Hillcrest and transformed it into Havencrest Castle.
The film will air on WQPT (channel 24.1) on December 8 at 7:00 pm and midnight and December 12 at 5 pm.
Following the screening there will be a question and answer period with artist Alan St. George (Havencrest Castle) and the filmmakers from WQPT.
