Our Klamath Basin
Water Crisis
Upholding rural Americans' rights to grow food,
own property, and caretake our wildlife and natural resources.
This was sent to the
Chadwick stakeholders email list 6/22/05 Hello, everyone. This is Theresa May, the playwright and theatre professor from Humboldt State University. I'm looking forward to seeing you all next week, and meeting new faces too. As many of you know, I have for the past 2 years been working on a play with HSU students, tribal communities, and other stakeholders. So much of what you all have said and felt over the past year and a half has helped inform the play and make it something that truly represents the voice and heart of the WHOLE watershed. Some of you heard a small portion of the script at the Chadwick gathering in Klamath last spring. I welcome any thoughts and/or feedback that you had listening to that reading. I know that our time in Chilloquim will be very busy, but I hope that I might talk with and interview a number of you for the playscript. Meanwhile, this coming year we have a grant to produce two community workshops for the play, times when members of the community will have direct input into the dialogue, rehearsal and theatrical elements of the play. Then it's on to production -- but not by professional actors! Instead, my goal is to have members of the watershed community involved in the performance, telling their OWN stories to one another. Please let me know if you would be interested in this (Petey, you're on the list!) looking forward to seeing you all! Theresa May PS -- I realize that we now have another playwright/photographer working on a separate performance piece about the klamath, which is exciting! So I realize you might have trouble keeping our projects straight. Just shows how much DRAMA there is in our watershed!
