Fred and Mary: An Unconventional Romance
Sunday, July 8, 2012 at 2:00 PM
The Elks Opera House - 117 E. Gurley St., Prescott
"Fred and Mary: An Unconventional Romance" by award-wining playwright, Micki Shelton, directed by Kate Hawkes.
The play re-imagines the relationship between groundbreaking architect Mary Jane Colter and pioneering hotelier Fred Harvey who has been credited with "civilizing" the West. Straddling the border between historical and alternate realities, their story is interwoven with the beauty and culture of the indigenous people of the Southwest.
Among the most vibrant examples of their vision are those at the Grand Canyon--buildings such as Hopi House, The Watchtower, Hermit's Rest, and Bright Angel Lodge. A full-length play, suitable for anyone over the age of 15.
