~Living Through the Fire~
The Coeur d’Alene Summer Theater is very proud and excited about our new project “CST on the Road”, a program designed to bring a merge of art and education to elementary schools in the North West. It consists of professional actors that travel to schools and preform a 45 minute musical that is education based. This year’s show, Living Through the Fire, is about the big burn of 1910.
Show Synopsis: When 5th-grade McKenzie is assigned to research Edward Pulaski for a school report, she happens upon his daughter Elsie’s diary. Through the diary, she re-lives the terrifying and heroic events of the “Great Fire” of August 1910 that ravaged the Silver Valley of Northern Idaho. McKenzie becomes Elsie (played by the same actor) as she anxiously documents the fate of the town of Wallace in her diary - in particular her father Edward’s legendary efforts to save his forest service troops from the devastating fire. Through the town’s trials, she comforts her friend Mary even as she herself is terrified. After Edward returns a hero, she – and McKenzie in turn – realize the value of teamwork, family and self-sacrifice.
