The Center’s annual dinner-theater produc-tion on June 14th at the Oaks Convention Cen-ter once more featured the deft musical and dramatic pen of Professor Ron Robinson and the talents of nearly a score of the city’s finest thespians. The theme of the struggles and tri-umphs of the women of the American West in story and song was an engaging one, and 275 diners interrupted Tuesday’s performance often with their applause—and with a standing ova-tion at the closing curtain. The sixteenth production since 1990, Women of the West was the eighth that Profes-sor Robinson has written, or directed, or revived, or performed in or has done all of the above in assisting the Center in raising funds and recruiting supporters. The Board and staff of the Center are deeply indebted to Ron for sharing his time and talent in this way. He is also the author of several plays and two novels, writes art commentary for etc. Magazine, and with his wife Margaret edits and pub-lishes regional books for Ex Machina Publishing Company. Joining Robinson in bringing Women of the West on stage was Eugenia Hartig as the Narrator, a long-time television personal-ity with KELO-TV and an actress and vocalist in such musical productions as The Merry Widow and Jacques Brel is Alive and Well. A retired professor of voice at Augustana, and now living in Omaha, Eugenia continues to give private lessons in voice. Terry Walter was once again the musical director for a Robinson production. She teaches piano, accompanies and conducts, With its release date set for Septem-ber 2005, A New South Dakota History will soon be available to readers at the CWS Gift Shop and online. Featuring essays by nationally recognized authors as well as full-length chapters by noted scholars, the history is intended for gener-al readers, college students, and teachers of South Dakota history. This is a new story of South Dakota’s past—a new telling of South Dakota’s often colorful yet sometimes painful his-tory. The first new interpretation of the state’s history in more than thirty years, A New South Dakota History emphasizes the geographic and cultural diversity of the state. Among the topics included are Lako-ta spirituality, Native American peoples, Missouri Valley Culture, Yankee and European immigration, the African Amer-ican experience, farming and ranching, the Black Hills, small-town and urban life, geography, territorial and statehood poli-tics, modern Sioux tribes, religious insti-tutions, health care, communication tech-nologies, women authors, performing and visual arts, transportation and tourism, and the challenges and promises facing South Dakota in the twenty-first century. The 650-page book features over 150 photographs and illustrations, chapter chronologies, copious notes, a selected readings list, and a full index. The book is available in two editions: paperback, for $39.95, and hardcover, for $59.95.
