Desert Arts Council to present Rogers tribute
The one-man show, "Lance
Brown's Tribute to Will Rogers"
will be presented at the Hermiston
Community Center on Saturday,
Oct. 9, at 7 p.m. Admission is $12
for adults, $8 for DAC members
and $5 for students.
"Lance Brown's Tribute to Will
Rogers" is a journey into the
American experience. Actor/
musician Lance Brown plays and
sings cowboy songs and Roaring
20s music as a backdrop to
Rogers’ life story. "He moves in
and out o f character, making
Rogers accessible to audience
members o f all ages, to one
moment he is a historian and
storyteller and in the next he is the
rope-twirling cowboy philosopher
himself," said a release.
Brown has traveled the country
performing his tribute for over a
decade.
Drawing on these
experiences, in 1997 he wrote a
book entitled, "On the Road with
Will Rogers.” In it he chronicles
how Will Rogers' wit and wisdom
still connect with us today.
Will Rogers was bom in Indian
Territory (now Oklahoma) in
1879. He came from a life rooted
the
in the Old West and became one of
the most prominent citizens of his
day. Noted for his gentle humor
and homespun philosophy, Rogers
skewered the rich and powerful
and they loved him for it.
