Theatre & Musical 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:

"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."

Wizard of Oz
Pagosa Springs school teacher, Susan Garman's first director's debut with the tutelage and 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."

Lord of the Springs
Comedian Mark Brown co-directs with director Bill Hudson; a spoof on the "Lord of the Rings", again in the tradition of the Pagosa Pretenders improv "script."

Director, Bill Hudson, has been producing and directing Children's Theatre since 1972. He became more serious about it when his children were young. In 1981, he and his wife, Clarissa, began Tricycle Theatre Company and produced various plays always with musical themes including an annual Christmas musical at Perseverance Theatre in Juneau, Alaska, (where he worked for many years in various roles as a set designer, poster designer and producer/director). As an Alaska Artist-in-the-Schools, he taught acting, produced theatrical pieces, taught musical instrument making and fine art. In 1994, he began the Pagosa Pretenders Family Theatre, with the concept of local family members working together in the entire production of a play (from acting, to costuming, set design, lighting, backstage crew, publicity, etc.). Bill is a visual artist, graphic designer, and web-designer (HudsonHudson, Ltd.) and is the editor/publisher/writer/owner of the online daily news source Pagosa Daily Post.
