Community Calendar

Join us for one in a series of sound hikes on the Ucross Ranch on Tuesday, October 7.

"Confluences" is an emplaced sound experience created by Ucross artist-alumni Teri Rueb and Laurids Sonne. It is available via a free downloadable app (iOS and Android) that visitors can run on their mobile phones while walking the land. Interactive areas of sound play as visitors wander, revealing a sonic landscape of sounds recorded over three years that include voices of the Ucross community, former artists-in-residence, local residents of Clear Creek Valley, and field recordings taken in different seasons.

During the hike, Ucross staff will walk with visitors on a private trail on the ranch as interactive areas of sound play. The hikes will be less than two hours; we will meet at the Ucross Art Gallery at 9 a.m. for an introduction and orientation before caravanning to the trail (about two minutes drive).

• Prepare for a hike up and down hills on our ranch, with longer grass on uneven terrain.

Stop the presses! This Disney film turned Tony-winning Broadway hit inspires everyone to fight for what's right and seize the day. Set in turn-of-the century New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged "newsies." When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what's right!

Based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by a true story, Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act) and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots). Featuring the now classic songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family and every audience.
