Fishtrap's Fall Arts & Lecture Program

This October, meet three women who dared to be different. From a mother’s courageous journey in a rural Nepalese village, to the school mistress who dramatically influenced the The King and I, to the rip-roarin’ western legend of Calamity Jane, discover stories of dynamic and intrepid women during Fishtrap’s Fall Arts & Lecture Series.
 
Fishtrap continues its 27-year tradition of bringing interesting people and thought-provoking events to Wallowa County. The public is invited to three lectures all with Oregon authors who have explored legendary characters and while doing that, looked inwards toward themselves. “They’re all great stories,” says Fishtrap Program Manager Mike Midlo. “We think people will enjoy learning about these adventuresome women and learn how they remade themselves.” 

View the film screening of "The King and I" which will be held this evening.  The film and stage versions of The King and I were inspired by Anna Leonowens’ accounts of her life in Siam. View the film before attending Alfred Habeggar’s lecture and learn how Leonowens may have misrepresented an Asian people, and a nation.
