Dr. Joyce Thierer, of Ride into History, a historical
performance touring troupe based in Kansas, performed “Coming to Wyoming
Territory,” a look back at the state in 1890.
Her performance told of Mary Fix and her family’s homesteading
adventures. The family hoped that this would be their promised land. Dr Thierer told a story of life on the land and
about Mary’s adventures, challenges, and joys of building a new home in
the West. Dr Thierer teaches history classes at Emporia State
University and authored “Telling History:
A Manual for Performers and Presenters of First Person Narratives.” She is known for portrayals of Calamity Jane
and Amelia Earhart. Dr. Thierer and Dr. Ann Birney held a workshop on 1st person interpretation for the staff and volunteers. It was very interesting and informative. We are doing first person interpretation in the prison.
