Battles of Fire and Water

One of the best things about UAS is its proximity to, and partnership with, the award-winning Perseverance Theatre (PT). For our kittens who find that they enjoy the glow of the limelight, check out the outstanding theatre program offered by UAS in conjuction with PT here http://www.perseverancetheatre.org/Perseverance_Theatre

If you find that lime just isn't your color, don't fret darlings, you get to get to play too - by going to the plays.

The newest production offered is called Battles of Fire and Water. Check out this description form the PT website...

“The Russians say they won. The Tlingits say they never surrendered. Who gets to tell the story?

In 1802 and 1804, the Russians and Tlingit fought bloody battles over the place we now call Sitka. More was at stake than mere turf: What is the relationship of a culture to its land and past? What is at the heart of communication? When does it become necessary to take up arms? This conflict shaped the future of the Tlingit people, the Russian Empire, and Alaska.

Based on a landmark book by Richard and Nora Marks Dauenhauer, Dave Hunsaker intertwines accounts from both sides, bringing Baranov, Lisianskii and the famous Kiks.ádi warrior K’alyáan together to tell this thrilling story.”

Now here is the very best part… UAS students get to attend for only $17; a $10 savings. If $17 still isn’t within your budget, you can go on “pay as you can” night, which is exactly as it sound. Wanna see a play, but you only have a quarter, that’s plenty! We firmly believe that a student shouldn’t have to choose between food, beer, the arts, etc. Thanks to PT, UAS students don’t have to.
