PSAA Receives Small Steps Grant

Pagosa Springs Arts Alliance (PSAA) has recently received a Small Steps grant in the amount of $1,000.  The Small Steps grant was given by Colorado Creative Industries, a state agency, to help communities develop strategies for using arts and culture to diversify or strengthen local economies and to strengthen ties within and between cultural groups of their community.  PSAA used these funds to host the 'Open House' for the people of Archuleta County as well as a donation from the Rohrbacher Family Charitable Trust.

The Lion In Winter
The Lion in Winter
by James Goldman
 

Dates: November 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27 December 2, 3, 4

King Henry II of England has three sons by Eleanor of Aquitaine: Richard, Geoffrey, and John. He wants the kingdom to stay united after his death, but all three sons want to rule and it is likely to be torn apart by revolution. Henry favors the youngest John, while Eleanor favors the eldest, Richard. Middle son Geoffrey hopes to play both ends against each other and come out on top. Henry would like to have another heir by his mistress Alais, but that would only add to the confusion. Uneasy is the head on which the crown lies, and uneasy the truce between a matchless king and queen. Often revived, this play was the basis of the Oscar-winning film which starred Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn.


"A work of intelligence, astringent wit, and much theatrical skill."-The New York Times
