Rescheduled from January due to Inclement Weather: Around the World: Perfomance Series
In January we visited and learned all about the "The Trail West."
Don't miss this very special performance that received great reviews from children, parents and educators.
Drawing from events in historical journals and records, "Themselves" – a talented group performing history through story and music -- present the story of a 13-year-old girl's experiences traveling by wagon train with her family from Independence, Missouri to the lush farmlands of Oregon.
These engaging performers explore the reasons people made this journey, what it was like, the dangers and fun along the way, the role of Native Americans and the change in transportation throughout this fascinating time in America history. Period songs, costumes, props, journal entries and scenes all contribute to a tale of a remarkable journey in which a vast and awesome wilderness is crossed and a new understanding of courage, perseverance and interdependence is gained.
