[Cas_humanities_constituents] annual UO REEES play is march 7 and 8!

[Julia Nemirovskaya]

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.
