 PIONEER SONG

A musical
Music by Omar Hansen and Aaron Pike
Book and Lyrics by Omar Hansen
Arrangements by Aaron Pike
 

The year is 1852. Ruth Maramin narrates her story as she and her three daughters leave Independence to make the pioneer trek to Oregon and the Willamette Valley. From  The Big Blue river to Fort Kearney, from Independence Rock and Devils Gate to the blue mountains of Oregon, Ruth comes to know the hardships and trials of such a venture. She meets and learns to love a group of women who band together to brave the elements, the tragedies and joys and the long road that test them all more than any would have believed. Ruth believes she will find  a song in the west but before she can do that, the Oregon Trail will take almost everything she loves.
 

Written as a tribute to the Pioneer woman who crossed the great American  Desert to settle and create a life in the West.
November 17-21, December 1-5 in the Snow Drama Theatre



Call for Papers/Projects

BYU-Idaho Department of Theatre

Seeks papers and projects related to Shakespeare’s  

Macbeth

To be performed in the Snow Black Box Theatre in February.

The Department of Theatre at Brigham Young University—Idaho is pleased to offer study guides to accompany our productions. These study guides provide a forum for interdisciplinary responses to great works of dramatic art. Our approach is open and inclusive, and our definition of ‘literary studies’ is broad. We encourage work that considers any discipline and perspective, and deploys any of the wide range of today’s critical strategies—from traditional close readings, to historically grounded scholarship and cutting-edge theoretical or interdisciplinary analyses.

We now invite original works for publication in a Macbeth Study Guide. Example ideas for works might include:

  • Thought and opinion or dramaturgical pieces—including reviews or comparative essays of Macbeth or any of Shakespeare’s other works.
  • Expository essays dealing with British/Scottish History
  • Articles on religious themes.
  • Timelines and other historical, expository projects.
  • Evocative artistic works including photography, documentary film, paintings, etc.

All typescript should be double-spaced, appropriately cited, sent as a Word document and accompanied by a hard copy of the text. Artistic expressions may be submitted as photographs or in a suitable digital format. Please submit to Richard Clifford  (cliffordr@byui.edu), or to Judy Wilkins in Snow 126 (wilkinsj@byui.edu).

Our chief aim is to provide a safe forum for publishing exciting and high-quality work by early career researchers. Works will be peer reviewed and selected for publication by a committee of students and faculty. We especially welcome interdisciplinary and collaborative submissions from students and faculty from disparate departments.

Deadline for abstracts and proposals is 11th December 2009

The final submissions deadline is 15th January 2010

 

Please contact Richard Clifford with an abstract or proposal if you wish to submit, but have concerns about being able to make the deadline.
