The Center of the American West is proud to present the Wallace Stegner and the Humor Initiative’s Fool for a Day Award to Senator Alan Simpson, his wife Ann Schroll Simpson, Pete Simpson and his wife Lynne Simpson. Please join us for this once in a lifetime event.
Each year, the center of the American West presents the Wallace Stegner Award to an individual or group of individuals who have made a sustained contribution to the cultural identity of the West through literature, art, history, lore or an understanding of the West. The center also presents a Fool for a Day Award annually to celebrate those individuals whose skills and temperaments support the central conviction of the Center of the American West: A dose of good humor is essential to constructive public discussion and, not coincidentally, to public health.
The Center has combined the Stegner Award with the Humor Initiative to celebrate their contributions to our understanding of the West and to celebrate the opportunity to laugh as we do so.
Visit the Center of the American West online for more information on the award recipients.

Are you a fan of Shakespeare's late romance plays like The Winter's Tale, Cymbeline and The Tempest? You'll love Pericles! Part fairy tale, part soap opera and part seafaring adventure (complete with pirates), this rarely performed play has something for everyone.
In this 10-week class, students will rehearse an abridged version of Pericles and perform it for friends and family on April 24. For advanced performers and newcomers to Shakespeare, this class is a fun and engaging way to build language and performance skills, work with other teenagers as part of a team and connect the ideas and conflicts in Shakespeare's world to our own.
