About Guards! Guards!

Here there be dragons . . . and the denizens of Ankh-Morpork wish one huge fire breather would return from whence it came. Long believed extinct, a superb specimen of Draco Nobilis ("noble dragon" for those who don't understand italics) has appeared in Discworld's greatest city. Not only does this unwelcome visitor have a nasty habit of charbroiling everything in its path, in rather short order it is crowned King (it is a noble dragon, after all . . .).Meanwhile, back at Unseen University, an ancient and long-forgotten volume -- The Summoning of Dragons -- is missing from the Library's shelves. To the rescue comes Captain Vimes, Constable Carrot, and the rest of the Night Watch who, along with other brave citizens, risk everything, including a good roasting, to dethrone the flying monarch and restore order to Ankh-Morpork (before it's burned to a crisp). A rare tale, well done as only Terry Pratchett can.

"The Murdered Minstrel of Toil: the Joe Hill Story" (©2010, Keith Reed), presented by Rosemount Players in partnership with Historic Mounds Theater, is the world premiere of an original play: a dramatization of the life of Joe Hill, an early twentieth century labor activist, who reached laborers through song. Framed for murder, he was executed in Utah in 1915.

One very basic right we have always enjoyed in this country has been the right to work. Unemployment is high; while progress is being made, this extended period of high joblessness is accompanied by a very tenuous political situation, both at the state and the national level. No one wants to take responsibility; everyone wants to lay blame. And suffering the brunt of this is the unemployed worker.

Forgotten, indeed in many cases being held pariah, is the labor movement. Terms such as "inflated union wages"; "protected employment"; "obscene union benefits", are used as taglines by some to describe why the state of the economy is where it is today. Forgotten, of course, are the contributions unions have made over the past one hundred and fifty years, which have led to safer working conditions, institution of child labor laws, fewer hours a person must work to maintain a living standard and higher wages for all.

Sometimes, people need to be reminded of the sacrifices and contributions made by those who helped bring these changes about. That is the purpose of this project.

TICKETS - $14.00 at the door
