Marquette – “The U.P. in Story” sponsored by the Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center, will be offered on Friday, April 26 at 7:30 p.m. at Forest Roberts Theatre at NMU.
The Upper Peninsula has long been a place of fascination for authors, songwriters and storytellers. From Henry Schoolcraft to Ernest Hemingway to Jim Harrison, the landscape and people of the U.P. have been provided a seemingly endless source of written material. It is these words that will be front and center in a unique public event. The event will be dedicated to the written and sung word and will feature a wide variety of individuals including radio personalities, local performers and scholars, reading or performing written works by the famous and not so famous.
The event is free and is being sponsored by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs. As part of this exciting event, the Beaumier Center will also be awarding the 2013 Upper Peninsula Folklife Award to the late storyteller and historian, Fred Rydholm.
