Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
We'll be happy to see you all at the show. The description is below,
and the poster is attached.<br>
<br>
Have a wonderful day!<br>
<br>
Julia Nemirovskaya and the Bilingual Russian Play Cast<br>

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.</span></p>
