The opportunity to hear historical characters bring to life their thoughts and perceptions from their lifetime is a moving, memorable experience. It is an opportunity to be taken back in time to really sense those moments in history and what brought them about. When we have a better, more thorough understanding of events in the past, we experience a better chance of intelligently interpreting current events and in applying well thought-out solutions, not in repeating errors.
In the not too distant past, we passed on our knowledge and life experiences by storytelling. The New Mexico Humanities Council is sponsoring a storytelling event which is bringing three well known conservationist figures of great importance on stage to talk about Conservation, Philosophy and Ethics. With a performance of what is called Chautauquas or Living Histories, the actors transform themselves into these historical characters and will be answering questions posed by a moderator and of each other.
Our Visionary Voices are Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt, John Muir and Aldo Leopold. These three people had a tremendous impact on the Conservation movement in the United States and beyond its borders.
The first event will be held on April 12, 2025, at the Albuquerque Museum in Albuquerque, New Mexico from 2 – 3:30pm.
The second will be on the following day, April 13, 2025, at the Fountain Theater in Mesilla (Las Cruces), New Mexico from 2 – 3:30pm.
The opportunity to see and hear these three historical characters will be a one-time, entertaining, informative and inspiring event (unless you want to attend both performances).
Please refer to the flyers for more information on tickets to attend and venue locations.
We hope to see you there.
