Message-ID: <00cb79a4-e26f-45ce-0667-e590630ac189@uoregon.edu> Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the upcoming bilingual Russian play - a comedy based on the famous Russian fairy tale,"The Frog Princess." On top of having a dedicated cast and crew, this year we have our own composer, Alistair Moore, and our set designer is Naeemeh Naeemaei, the Iranian artist whose work was displayed at the UO Art Museum. The show was made possible thanks to the UO REEES, Global Scholars Hall and University Housing, the UO Woodworking shop, Oregon Consortium for International and Area Studies, and the UO Libraries. We'll be happy to see you all at the show. The description is below, and the poster is attached. Have a wonderful day! Julia Nemirovskaya and the Bilingual Russian Play Cast * UO Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies in Collaboration with Global Scholars Hall, University Housing, Oregon Consortium for International and Area Studies, Theater Department and UO Libraries presents its annual bilingual English-Russian play, "The Frog Princess," based on the beloved Russian fairy tale. UO Global Scholars Hall Theater (room 123) March 7 at 7:30 p.m. and March 8 at 2:30 p.m., free and open to public. Russian people decide they are tired of electing President every six years. They gladly accept his offer to be their Tsar. He turns Russia into a "fairy tale land" throwing it back to the ancient rites, customs and values. He claims Russia is the last stronghold of sanity withstanding the corrupt liberal globalist decay. One day, according to tradition, the Tsar asks his three game-addict immature sons to shoot arrows to different directions and find wives wherever the arrows fall. His special forces make sure the arrows fall in the yards of his oil magnates dachas but all goes wrong when he finds himself in a real fairy tale where princes have to marry frogs, ravens talk, Baba Yaga lures people into a chicken-legged hut and destiny is all. * -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
