Theatre Productions & Art Shows

Artstream has sponsored a variety of theatrical and musical productions by various directors and producers; including art show productions. A few of these productions include:

Wizard of Oz
Pagosa Springs school teacher, Susan Garman's directorial debut with the assistance of director, Bill Hudson. Keeping in the tradition of the Pagosa Pretender's Family Theatre, the cast (of over 100) wrote the improv "script." Sets and costumes by Clarissa & Bill Hudson. Original songs by Bill Hudson.

Lord of the Springs
Noted improv comedian Mark Brown co-directed with lyricist and set designer Bill Hudson; a spoof on the "Lord of the Rings" — again with a cast of over 100 actors, age 6 to 60. As usual, the cast created its own improv "script." Amazing costumes and puppets designed by Clarissa & Bill Hudson. Original lyrics by Bill Hudson.

"Clothes On a Fish" Art Show
The brain-child of Pagosa artists Chris Haas and Ursala Hudson, this one-night-only exposition opened its doors in a generously large, vacant office space formerly used by Parelli Natural Horsemanship. A typical art show in Pagosa Springs generally pulls in an average of 40-60 people; this show pulled in over 300 folks from all walks of life!

"Gunakadeit" Sea Monster"
The text adaptation by Ishmael Hope of "Gunakadeit" was directed by Jim Simard. In November 2006, the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian hosted the troupe to perform the play for a week as part of the exhibit "Listening to Our Ancestors." Artstream Cultural Resources was a sponsor in the "Raven Brings Box of Delight" May 2006 performance in Juneau, Alaska.

"Raven Brings Box of Delight"
As part of the "Northwest Coast Artists' Gathering," 2006, this evening of Native American performers and musicians started off with "Gunakadeit" (see above), followed by glass artist Preston Singletary's "Little Big Band", then closing the evening with local Juneau singer/songwriter Archie Cavanaugh's band, "Smokehouse."
