Official Centennial Event at Golden Vista

The Arizona Centennial Commission has designated Golden Vista's play "I Love You Arizona" as an "Official Centennial Event."  See Letter. When you go to this website http://www.az100years.org/events/official-centennial-events-2/, the following is written about the play (contains several corrections):   I LOVE YOU ARIZONA, Apache Junction | An original 12 act play, set in a 1912 AZ community, which integrates the political, cultural, economic, and social facets of AZ life. The story includes romance, a love triangle, conflict and adventure, the exploits of Eastern cowboys moving west, a spirited saloon with gambling townsmen, vivacious dancing girls and a Madam with a mysterious past enliven the story.  In contrast is the upright women's circle whose quilting bee is fertile soil for gossip, exchange of health remedies and advice. A charismatic mayor and numerous social events include an auctioning of picnic baskets, an evening at the “Oprey House” and the advent of a group of mail order brides to enliven the plot. In the end conflict and questions are resolved with the appearance of an Eastern stranger, who has come to claim a niece, the Madam’s adopted daughter. The final scene depicts the town’s celebration of Feb. 14, 1912. Throughout the play classic Western music is sung along with popular songs, saloon songs of the era, folk and religious songs in the quilting bee. Research has supplied us with cowboy humor and expressions used at that time, which we have incorporated into the speech of the characters. (Three performances: February 7 & 9, 2012 in the evening at 7 PM and a matinee on the Centennial day--Feb 14, 2012 at 1:30 PM)
