Voices of the Wind People Pageant

09/16/2023

Hey everybody! Hey everybody! General Voices surrendered to General Weather at Council Grove….but, the rain is OVER! (Okay I may have just rewritten a line from the show.)

Yes, it’s Kansas, but so far, we’re looking good for clear weather tonight, so let’s take another run at it! HO for Kansas!

09/15/2023

Well, phooey. It’s not getting any better, is it? Often it splits and misses us, but we can’t take the chance with the lighting and sound equipment. So I guess this is it: no show tonight. All tickets are honored tomorrow. When it won’t be raining. Right???

Anyone up for a midnight show tomorrow? (Kidding. Mostly.)

And if the radar is lying again, that isn’t my fault. Thank you all!

At this point it's possible there will be a delay of at least half an hour. We will make "the call" whether we go or not closer to time. Please stay tuned....Thank you!

It may rain and it may not. The weather here is often fickle and changes its mind without warning. Remember that tickets are good for either evening. We intend to perform unless there’s a deluge, because we’re TOUGH and OBSTINATE and we’ve worked way too hard for this! If you’re brave and own rain gear, come join our adventure!

HO! for Kansas! Come to the Neosho!

It's finally here! We open tonight and close after tomorrow night, so make plans to join us! Annie Wilson plays music at 7:15, show begins at 8p. Wagons and bushwhackers and a beautiful stagecoach, Kaw Nation dancers and over 60 local performers, come see the spectacle! Tickets are $15 adults, $5 K-12, available at the door or at the site below. Running time about 2 hours, with an intermission. Bring a cushion and maybe a jacket, it's finally getting chilly!

This beautifully presented story depicts the changes affected by two vastly different cultures. As the Kaw Indians were being relocated and European American settlers were beginning to populate Council Grove on the Santa Fe Trail, the dynamics of these two cultures co-existing proved to be intense.
