A Laura Ingalls Wilder Christmasby Laurie Brooks “Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way” Original music by John thomas Oaks Copyright Caliora Music Publishing, ASCAP Pa’s Curtain Call Copyright John thomas Oaks Caliora Music Publishing, ASCAP Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock Illinois. Director’s Notes By Terry Weber Laura Ingalls Wilder was born on Feb. 7, 1867, meaning that 2017 marks the 150th anniversary of her birth. The first of the seven books in her “Little House” series – Little House in the Big Woods – was published in 1932. In the 85 years since then, the series has been translated into more than 40 languages and, depending on which internet source you choose to believe, has sold somewhere between 34 and 60 million copies worldwide. Many of us remember the “Little House on the Prairie” TV series that began in 1974 and ran until 1982. It was said to have been Ronald Reagan’s favorite program. Wilder’s stories are based on actual events and people in her family’s history in the 1870s and 1880s. What has made them so enduringly popular? Perhaps it is because they espouse universal themes: the value of family unity; individual struggle and hard work for the sake of loved ones; courage and faith in the face of adversity; the sense that some things are simply right and others simply wrong. There was one brief period of her childhood about which Ms. Wilder chose not to write. After the death in infancy of her brother, Freddy, the family spent some time working and living in a small hotel/tavern in Burr Oak, Iowa. That is the period in which playwright Laurie Brooks sets A Laura Ingalls Wilder Christmas, imagining what might have been some of the experiences for the family there. She is able to reveal the characters we already recognize from the books, even lifting some lines of dialogue directly from them, and weave a touching story that we can easily believe might have happened to the Ingalls family during that challenging time. The WordPlayers, in grateful collaboration with The Arts at Pellissippi State, is joyful to offer this story to the Knoxville community, hoping that all of us may live in such a way as to “always be mindful of others.” As Pa says, “You rest easy for the long haul when you’re mindful of what’s right.” Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Little House in the WBig Woods was published in 1932. It is set in the “Big Woods” near Pepin, Wisconsin when Laura was four years old. She describes her first home as a simple, cozy log cabin surrounded by woods that stretched, “as far as a man could go to the north in a day, or a week, or a whole month.” The Ingalls family had several relatives living on other farms in the Big Woods. We meet several of them in this book, and some of them are mentioned in books later in the series. Here’s a quick who’s who of Little House in the Big Woods: • Laura Ingalls, born 1867 • “Pa,” Charles Ingalls, born 1836 • “Ma,” Caroline Ingalls, born 1839 • Mary Ingalls (Laura’s elder sister), born 1865 • Carrie Ingalls (Laura’s baby sister), born 1870 • Uncle Peter, brother of Charles Ingalls • Aunt Eliza, wife of Peter and sister of Caroline Ingalls • Peter, Alice, and Ella, children of Peter and Eliza, Laura’s double first cousins • Grandpa and Grandma, parents of Charles Ingalls • Uncle George, younger brother of Charles Ingalls • Aunts Ruby and Docia, younger sisters of Charles Ingalls • Uncle Henry, older brother of Caroline Ingalls • Aunt Polly, wife of Henry and younger sister of Charles Ingalls • Charley, son of Henry and Polly, Laura’s double first cousin.

    Negotiating Traditional Gender Roles in Laura Ingalls Wilder’S Little Town on the Prairie Maria Angelina Chandra Titien Diah Soelistyarini

    Negotiating Traditional Gender Roles in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little Town on The Prairie Maria Angelina Chandra Titien Diah Soelistyarini ABSTRACT This paper attempt to examine how women negotiated traditional gender roles in the nineteenth century America as depicted in Wilder’s novel Little Town on the Prairie. In order to reveal how Laura Ingalls, the main character, accepts or refuses to assume the traditional gender roles, this study analyzes the characterization of Laura Ingalls using Feminist literary criticism. Laura’s negotiation is examined by comparing her portrayal in the novel with the ideal roles of women in the nineteenth century proposed by Wollstonecraft and Beecher and Stowe. This study reveals that throughout the novel Laura has made an effort to negotiate with traditional gender roles by accepting some of the patriarchal rules, while at the same time refusing some others. On the one hand, Laura fits some criteria of an ideal woman proposed by Beecher and Stowe as proponents of traditional gender roles. On the other hand, Laura also fits some other criteria of an ideal woman proposed by Wollstonecraft as an opponent of traditional gender roles. Keywords: Traditional Gender Roles; Negotiation; Ideal Roles; Nineteenth Century Women; Feminism 1. Introduction Little Town on the Prairie is the seventh book of Little House series written by Laura Ingalls Wilder based on her childhood in Wisconsin, USA. Considered as a masterpiece in classic American children’s literature, Wilder’s Little House series have become an interesting topic for academic research. In a study entitled Constructing the Little House: Gender, Culture, and Laura Ingalls, Romines discusses all the books in Little House series and dedicates one chapter for Little Town on the Prairie.

    To See Again Better... As Before” by Rev

    “To See Again Better... As Before” By Rev. Elizabeth D. McLean, Prince of Peace Presbyterian Church 10-14-18 Based upon Mark 10:46-52; Hebrews 4:12-15 In the midst of our conflicts, and underlying our collective outrage these days, there is a yearning in our country and in much of the world. Have you felt it too? As much as we all want our side, whatever that side is, to win, and as much as we are sure with every fiber of our being that our views of the world are the right ones not the wrong ones, there is still a deep longing in the hearts of many for a time when we were not so preoccupied with winning and saw each other differently. We yearn for that time when we saw some of our dearest friends and family just as Betty or Steve, our sister-in-law or father-in-law, not as people who voted for the one we hate, or who believe things that we now find incomprehensible or wrong. We yearn for a time when we saw the people on our streets as allies, people in our towns as neighbors, and people in our country as people “like us,” even though we know intellectually they weren’t really like us. We did not all agree, and were not all the same back then, whenever our “then” was – two years ago, twenty, or seventy. We know that everything was not perfect. There were plenty of people who were labeled and limited in cruel and unjust ways then too.

Acknowledgments This thesis could not have been written without so many people’s help and encouragement. First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, Renee Romano. She first introduced me to the realm of historical memory, and has spent so many hours talking through ideas and arguments with me, commenting on endless drafts, and guiding and reassuring me throughout this process. As the seminar coordinator, she has graciously opened her house to us, fed us delicious baked goods, and encouraged us on a weekly basis. I could not have finished this thesis without her support and advice. I am also grateful to Pablo Mitchell, whose class on the West in American history helped inspire the topic of this thesis. I owe a special thank you to Mrs. Casey for instilling in me a love of Little House in her third grade reading class. I would also like to thank Marko Dumancic for reading this thesis. I also need to express my gratitude to everyone in the honors seminar, for keeping each other sane as we have gone on this journey together.
