She was born March 31, 1932, in Richfield, to Henry Ludwick and Fair's Talent Winners in the 1995 Sevier Co. Fair Farm Bureau. The first place winners will compete at the State Fair September 16, in Salt Lake City, they were: Tresha Dawn Mickelsen, beginner; Brinnley Ann Poulson, junior; Cicily Breinholt, intermediate; Darryl and Ann Bosshardt, Senior. The second place winners Sorrier County ARTS ALLIANCE By Trish Bumgardner Sevier County theatergoers have had the ephemeral experience of enjoying live performances of "Field of Stars" in the open-air and Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Carousel," this season. The unique thing about creating these works is that they cannot exist until a community of performers make it happen, and an audience think and feel a theatrical experience.
When the public recognizes each theater group as a viable organization, here to stay, the reputation for quality shows and endurance soon grows. When such a program is capable of working successfully from year-to-year more and more amateurs discover the secret of live theater and an educational process for the arts is shared. The success lies not with elaborate sets or a profound message, but rather the unique chemistry and teamwork between the actors and their audience. So what is the common denominator between a production and its community? The audience, for one, and that's what can make or break many community programs. As an Arts Alliance we are proud of the arts we have in our reason we have great art organization and activities is because people enjoy them enough to support them.
Winners were: Shanelle Cowley, beginner; KerriLee Bertelson, junior; Jacy McConnell, junior; Shauna Woolsey, intermediate; Toni Dumas, Senior. The third place winners were: Brooke Johnson, beginner; Kayli Bastian, junior; Dani Dahlsrud, intermediate; Tyler Huntsman, Senior. For instance, the comment of a citizen of Sevier County when he said, "My kids have seen and participated in more live theater than some adults will see in their lives." And that's the whole idea. As our county creates shows that are oriented for families, so we strive to raise up our next generation of performers and audience. Next year, Utah will celebrate its statehood centennial.
It will also celebrate a tradition of artistic excellence, thanks in part, to the cooperation of communities, striving to speak to the present. Many visitors to the Utah Shakespcarcan Festival in Cedar City do not realize what a meager beginning this outdoor amphitheater had before the 1970s. Today the audience can experience the ambiance of Old England while attending any of the historically honest Shakespearean productions that will be staged in the world-famous Adams Memorial Shakespearean Theatre. These extraordinary involvements are possible for Sevier County. Such institutions as the Utah Symphony, Ballet West, Tabernacle Choir, Pioneer Theater, Sundance Film Festival, and many other -recognized institutions have more of a positive effect on people than anything else in Utah.
This involvement is manifest today in Sevier County as it is rich in cultural experiences. Balancing a community, respecting it and educating it, can be a big process, with big ideas, difficulties and sometimes failures. But most of all, with community involvement and public support, sooner or later it will all pay off. Through the arts we are able to name ourselves. While some of the names are light, joy or love, often they are "100 much work." And people say they would volunteer if they had time.
More often they say they would vote, direct, tutor or participate if they knew it would make a difference. Yet isn't it every citizen's responsibility to help his or her community and help children gain self-confidence? These theater groups hold auditions. It gives the children opportunities they would not have had otherwise. It is these opportunities that can be the difference in a child's life. For the next two seasons we will be privileged to see Richfield High School perform Lerner and Loewe's "Brigadoon." North Sevier High School drama department will perform "My Fair Lady" and South Sevier High School will perform 'Kiss Me Kate," all in the form of musical theater.
