by Chris Arneson
- Feb 22, 2022
The musical is based on former Lumineers member Neyla Pekarek's first solo album, Rattlesnake, which features songs inspired by the life of Colorado's own 'Rattlesnake Kate' Slaughterback. Nearly 100 years ago, Kate killed around 140 rattlesnakes mostly using a wooden sign she found after her rifle ran out of ammunition, not only saving herself but also her 3-year-old son and their horse, Brownie.

In reality there is no Ernest, and a the real reason for all his trips to London is that Jack is in love with the beautiful Gwendolen Fairfax, cousin of Algernon Moncrieff, Jack's close friend. Jack's chief obstacle to Gwendolen's affection is her mother, Lady Bracknell, who demands proof of Jack's lineage. When he returns to the country to find the necessary proof, Algernon follows him and unexpectedly shows up at Jack's country home as the non-existent brother, Ernest. There he proceeds to fall in love with Jack's charming ward, Cecily. This hilarious farce is a masterpiece of brilliant word play and riotous reversals.

KENTUCKY BY DESIGN: THE DECORATIVE ARTS AND AMERICAN CULTURE is Now Available
by BWW News Desk
- Aug 10, 2015
On August 29, 1935, at the height of the Great Depression, the Federal Art Project (FAP) opened its doors under the auspices of the New Deal's Works Progress Administration (WPA). The program's primary goals were to provide work for unemployed artists and to create narrative art for government buildings, such as post offices, courthouses, schools, libraries, and hospitals. In addition, the project was charged with training new artists in surveying and recording the history of American material culture. The research culminated in the Index of American Design, which sought to discover what was uniquely “American” in decorative arts. Thirty-seven states, including Kentucky, participated. Hundreds of artists produced illustrations of thousands of objects in museums and private collections, focusing on vernacular designs in utilitarian objects like furniture, textiles, pottery, and ironwork. TheIndex was intended for broad public distribution, but it was never published, leaving it little remembered today.
