Channeling Jefferson Re-enactor and oral historian Thomas Pitz plans to bring a ‘sense of humanity’ to nation’s third president Max B. O’Connell Journal staff

O

ne of the Founding Fathers and greatest United States presidents is on his way to Rapid City, and it isn’t another statue.

Thomas Pitz, a renowned Thomas Jefferson re-enactor and oral historian, will perform on Friday and Saturday at Mount Rushmore and on Sunday at both the Journey Museum and Learning Center and the Founding Fathers Black Hills at Independence Hall.

Pitz began giving lectures and performances as Jefferson in 1987, saying that he always had an interest in history and felt he had a story to share about one of the most fascinating Founding Fathers.

“He is a protean figure in American history,” Pitz said.

“He had so many forms in his language and his ideas, and he has a strong appeal to people on both sides of the political spectrum.”

Indeed, in national polls and rankings of the American presidents, Jefferson is almost consistently ranked among the five greatest.

Pitz, a resident of Orange, Va., did not have a background in performance or history when he began, having worked as a high school counselor for 30 years, but he slowly built a

reputation to the point where he now performs for schools, tourist attractions and business meetings.

“It grew more than I thought it would have, than I really thought was possible,” Pitz said.

“Now I’ve been performing for the National Parks Service for three or four years.”

Pitz’s three planned performances over the weekend will each cover different areas of Jefferson’s life. The Mount Rushmore performance will begin at 9:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and see Pitz joined by George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt re-enactors talking

about their respective contributions to the nation.

His 2 p.m. performance at the Journey Museum on Sunday will feature Jefferson’s recollections about the Louisiana Purchase, which greatly expanded the territory of the United States.

Troy Kilpatrick, executive director of the Journey Museum, said that he jumped at the opportunity of hosting Pitz’s performance.

“I think we have a special connection to Jefferson in this forum,” Kilpatrick said. “After all, the Dakota territories were bought with the Louisiana Purchase, so to have someone

who knows their stuff giving us Jefferson’s perspective on what he thought would come of it is invaluable.”

Finally, his 6:30 p.m. performance at the Founding Fathers Black Hills on Sunday will see Jefferson’s recollections about the days of the incipient American Revolution.

Mary Garrigan, the general manager of the Founding Fathers Black Hills at Independence Hall, said that she was excited about welcoming Pitz to their attraction.

“It’s going to be something new for him and for us,” Garrigan said. “We normally don’t let people go into the statue area, but he’ll be walking among the sculptures, talking about Jefferson’s relationships with John Adams, John Dickinson, Richard Henry Lee and others.”

Garrigan added that Pitz has

Looking for love in all the unexpected places Amalia Balash (Jenna Murphy) and Georg Nowack (Ian Curtis) are feuding co-workers and pen pals turned lovers in “She Loves Me,” which will be featured at the Black Hills Playhouse starting Friday.

Musical tells story of feuding co-workers turned lovers Max B. O’Connell Journal staff

From a shop around the corner to the World Wide Web, it’s a durable story, and it’s coming to the Black Hills as a musical.

“She Loves Me,” a musical adaptation of the play “Parfumerie,” will run at the Black Hills Playhouse from July 3 to 19.

The story, about feuding employees who are unwittingly falling for their pen pals — each other — was the inspiration for the romantic comedies “The Shop Around the Corner,” starring James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan, and “You’ve Got Mail,” starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.

Director Jennie May Donnell says that she’s wanted to direct the show for years, and was thrilled to come on board when the show was picked for the Playhouse’s 70th season.

“It’s so well-crafted and it’s more about character

than spectacle,” Donnell said. “It’s just a jewel box of a musical.”

The show was nominated for five Tony Awards in 1964, and although it’s not as well-known as its competitors that year (“Funny Girl,” “Hello, Dolly!”), it did spawn the well-known show tune

“Vanilla Ice Cream.” Broadway legend Stephen Sondheim named it as a favorite musical in a talk at Oberlin College.

“I think it’s something extra special, kind of a cult piece among musical theater lovers that not enough people get the chance to see,” Donnell said.

The show is fortuitously timed for Black Hills residents, who will get to see it before its planned Broadway revival next year.

“It’s emotional to be able to dedicate the show to someone who gave so much to the Playhouse and to me.”

The show will represent what Williams, Donnell, and so many other theater artists believe in.

“I think the heart of the story is that they’re all looking for their love,” Donnell said. “Amalia believes life should be ‘warm and full, and rich in love and art,’ and I think that’s a throughline for the show and for life.”

A SOUTH DAKOTA Nationally renowned scholar Sally Roesch Wagner was the first woman in the United States to earn a PhD in women’s studies Max B. O’Connell Journal staff

Sally Roesch Wagner is more than just a nationally renowned scholar: She’s a storyteller, and a trailblazer in the area of women’s studies for 45 years.

“I’m not sure anyone has continued for this long, but I love it,” Wagner said.

The first woman in the United States to earn a PhD in women’s studies, Wagner will hold a lecture at 7 p.m. at Wagner the Rapid City Public Library on July 7.

Wagner will talk about the history of the U.S. women’s rights movement in South Dakota, with emphasis on the roles of Native American women and the influence of the Lakota.

Laura Neubert, the development director of the Rapid City Library Foundation, said that her knowledge on the subject was unimpeachable.

“It’s important to have someone of her stature come and speak to our community,” Neubert said.

“She gives us perspec-

tive on who we are today through the historical lives of women in South Dakota.”

But bringing Wagner here didn’t exactly require pulling teeth: A native of Aberdeen, Wagner returns to South Dakota each summer.

“I always feel like I’m coming home,” Wagner said. “If people ask me where I live, I say New York. If they ask where I’m from, I say South Dakota.”

“A story I love to tell is one of the friendship between Sitting Bull and some of the settlers,” Wagner said. “He visited Standing Rock Reservation and asked for potatoes.

“Everyone was busy, so a little girl went out, gathered them, put them in a sack and gave them to Sitting Bull. The next day, she woke up and he had left her

trailblazer a pony in the front yard.”

Wagner said the story epitomizes the complexities and humanity of Sitting Bull, and the potential for relationships to build and be rebuilt.

It’s one of the many stories Wagner has gathered over her time teaching the subject. Citing the book “The Feminine Mystique” at California State University as a life-changing moment, she arranged for a discussion of the book, formed an early women’s liberation group in Sacramento and started teaching women’s studies in 1970.

Since then, she has lectured around the country, and has been honored with the Humanist Heroine of the Year Award by the American Humanist Association, the Women of Achievement Award by the South Dakota General Federation of Women’s Clubs, and the Peace Action Award by Peace Action of Central New York.

She has taught Honors and Women’s Studies at Syracuse University since 1999. There, she also emphasizes the influence of the Onondaga on the women’s suffrage movement.

“The suffragists were deeply influenced by Native Americans,” Wagner said. “Women had a voice in their government. If the chiefs didn’t make good decisions, they’d remove

them. They had more rights than many women have in the United States today.”

Wagner continued by saying she thought it was embarrassing that the United States was one of the only nations in the United Nations that had failed to ratify a universal declaration of women’s rights. She did, however, note that profound changes were coming.

“We’re in the midst of the cultural revolution that I never would have thought possible in 1970,” Wagner said. “When you’ve got a woman running for president and Taylor Swift calling the shots in the music industry with Apple products, you see a change in consciousness and conditions of the world.”

Wagner said that with a sense of warmth and humor, something that she

says is a major part of her work.

“I understand the outrage we have at injustice, and that’s incredibly healthy,” Wager said. “But I’ve come to really enjoy the process of making change. I see it not as a joyless activity, but as what brings joy to my life.”

BLACK HILLS TO GO

SOUND CHECK Who was the Howlin’ Wolf ?

Song release party

Judd Hoos will hold a single release party at 8 p.m. on July 7 at Main Street Square for their new song “Billboard.”

ON THE RECORD

Q: What was bluesman Howlin’ Wolf’s real name?

Surely his parents didn’t name him that?

A: You are correct. Mr. Wolf was actually born Chester Arthur Burnett on June 10, 1910, in White Station, Miss. He reportedly earned his nickname from his grandfather, who would tell him stories about wolves and how they would come and “get him” if he wasn’t careful.

He learned guitar at 18 from Charley Patton, who is considered by some to be the father of Mississippi Delta blues, and he later learned harmonica from his step-brotherin-law, Aleck “Rice” Miller, also known as “Sonny Boy Williamson II”. Howlin’ Wolf was a commanding presence on stage. He stood 6-foot-3

name of the singer/band.

The words were something like “if a tree was falling in the forest would anybody hear?” That is all I remember from it and I would love to have a copy of it again. I was in Australia the sumJohn Bradford mer of 1989, if that helps.

Maron Brady A: The song is called “If a Tree Falls” by Canaand weighed close to 300 dian singer/songwriter pounds and had a raw, powerful voice. He died in Bruce Cockburn. Born in January 1976. While we’re Ontario in 1945, Cockburn has produced critically at it, we might as well acclaimed music since his provide the real names of Taj Mahal (Henry St. Clair debut album was released Fredericks), Muddy Waters in 1970. Although most of his success has been (McKinley Morganfield), achieved in Canada, and Son House (Eddie Cockburn did score a Top James House, Jr.).

He also had a that I remember from down minor hit in 1984 with “If I Had a Rocket Launcher.” under that I just loved “If a Tree Falls” reached and cannot remember the

the top 30 on the Australian pop charts in 1989 and also reached No. 20 on the U.S. Modern Rock charts.

Q: Can you tell me the name of the song at the beginning of the movie “Invincible?” The chorus is “moving me down the highway” or something like that.

A: The song is “I Got a Name” by the late Jim Croce. Croce began performing while in college in the late ‘60s. After recording an unsuccessful album in 1968 and working odd jobs, he was signed by ABC/Dunhill Records in 1972. His second album, “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim,” was released later that year and included his first hit, “Operator,” the title track, and one of his best-

known songs, “Time in a Bottle.” His next album, “Life & Times,” continued his hot streak and included his biggest hit, “Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown,” which reached No. 1 in the summer of 1973. While on tour, his plane crashed on Sept. 20, 1973, killing Croce and four others. His last studio album, “I Got a Name,” was released posthumously and included the title track and his last Top Ten hit, “I’ll Have to Say I Love You in A Song.”

BLACK HILLS TO GO

THURSDAY, JULY 2, 2015 — 11

ARTS

Traditional story songs The Lost Dog Street Band will perform their brand of traditional American story songs at 6 p.m. Friday at Miners Brewery Company, 23845 Highway 385, Hill City. Admission is free. Call 605-574-2886 for more information.

Black Hills offers variety of chamber music offerings It’s hard to believe the increase in chamber music offerings this year. Personally I think it’s a good thing, but then I like small ensemble performances of classical music.

And by classical I mean anything composed between the 17th and 21st centuRuth ries.

Brennan Chamber music performance is an ensemble-based art form that began as entertainment in the home (maybe I should call it a manor to help imagine the size) for invited guests to attend and enjoy.

That’s largely no longer the case. In the Black Hills, you can enjoy performances in larger, public venues such as churches, arts centers and colleges. But the musician composition continues to be small ensembles primarily, or even small orchestral organizations with 20 to 40 musicians (think Minnesota’s St. Paul Chamber Orchestra).

Chamber music has been a significant part of the Rapid City music scene for years. For this we can thank the Black Hills Chamber Music Society, which marked its 50th anniversary this

past season.

Going back to the ensemble music performance origins, however, the Black Hills Symphony Orchestra is resuming its chamber ensemble performances this coming season by scheduling programs in local homes for the public and symphony advocates to attend.

These are intended as part of the symphony’s scheduled fundraising event with a recommended minimum donation of $25.

Now comes the Orlando Chamber Soloists to begin their eighth annual July residency.

Their monthlong stay in the area is filled with a mix of public concerts plus a strong education program for young people from toddlers through elementary school.

There are also opportunities for area string students to work directly with the OCS professional musicians who have come from around the country.

The extensive education component stretches from Lead-Deadwood, south to Sturgis, Rapid City and Hot Springs then east to Pine Ridge and Kyle. Then add to the mix Black Hills Children’s Home and area churches.

The programming includes a musical story time in which chil-

dren’s stories including Red Riding Hood and Gingerbread Man are set to various classical music pieces with characters depicted by appropriate excerpts.

There’s more. The ensemble of string players will perform five children’s family concerts in various locations throughout their planned stops at no cost.

In fact, the entire schedule of 50 children’s programs is free thanks to sponsors, donors and grants, which range from local foundations to the National Endowment for the Arts and Chamber Music America.

Going beyond the string instruments, the OCS is continuing its vocal outreach program initiated last year. Singing parts were sent to specific elementary schools for distribution to interested students.

Then, on a pre-arranged date, the young participants lined up to be recorded and filmed individually for eventual participation in a large, four-part harmony choir of South Dakota youth.

Don’t forget that along with all these programs for youth the visiting chamber ensemble is also rehearsing for their three public concerts, the first being on July 11 at the Dahl Arts Center.

A chamber surprise appeared

early last month when a newly formed string quintet arrived in Rapid City for a week to perform at South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and Black Hills State University, calling the residency the Rushmore Music Festival.

The quintet developed following conversations among five string musicians attending the Heifetz International Music Institute in Virginia. The Hills residency came about through a connection with the School of Mines.

With local foundation support and a desire to perform and teach Heifetz-related techniques through workshops, the group arrived in the Black Hills for its initial week residency.

It is amazing that this year an intimate classical music ensemble concept has increased the number of organizations to three when for decades one served the community. This may not be stranger than fiction, but in my book, it’s close.

Ruth Brennan is the former executive director of the Dahl Arts Center and Rapid City Arts Council, former member of the South Dakota Arts Council and a member of the Black Hills Playhouse board. Contact her at 342-4997 or rbrennan@ enetis.net.

CHEAP THRILLS The spirit of the West The final performances of “Seth Bullock: The Spirit of the West” will take place from 11:30 a.m. to noon and 1:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. today through Saturday at Adams Museum, 54 Sherman St., Deadwood.
