Chautauqua Festival celebrates American legends
Stories of past give context to who we are today

Sunday, June 11, 2006 - 6:00 am

A century and a world of life experiences separate Becky Stone and Harriet Tubman, the legendary escaped slave who helped others find freedom on the Underground Railroad.

Stone, a North Carolina storyteller and actress, will step into Tubman's spirit next week at Greenville Chautauqua Festival. As Tubman, she will offer a first-person glimpse into the activist's life and heroism.

Finding the voice of a woman born into slavery, who led daring raids into the Deep South right in the thick of the Civil War, is something of a challenge for a person from the 21st century.

But for Stone, what's trickier is something that seems more mundane: her height. Tubman was a petite 5 feet tall, while Stone stands almost a foot taller.

"One of the great things about her was that she was so powerfully strong, physically very strong," Stone said. "And I can communicate that kind of power, but it's not going to have the same effect it would have if I were only 5 feet tall and could present that power to the audience."

Stone won't be a physical mirror image of Tubman, but that's not the most important aspect of Chautauqua anyway, organizers say. The point of the event is to give voice to long-dead Americans who helped shape the world in which we live.

"We explore American history, American culture, American life, American literature, and that's what we always try to do: Help people understand who they are," said George Frein, Chautauqua's artistic director and portrayer of author Herman Melville.

The theme of the 2006 Chautauqua Festival is "Great American Journeys."

In addition to Tubman and Melville, there will be sessions featuring Cherokee Indian linguist Sequoyah, explorer William Clark, and wilderness survivor Mary Ingles, who was captured by Shawnee Indians and then escaped, walking nearly 1,000 miles back to her home.

Frein, as Melville, will talk about sailing the world on a whaling ship, while Clark, impersonated by Missouri history professor Jeffrey Smith, will share the story of his voyage across the continent with Meriwether Lewis.

"We only do American history, and journeys have really defined Americans," Frein said. "There are no Americans, other than natives who are in their original locations, and there aren't many of those. ... So we're all made by people who came from somewhere else and still tell that story."

Another perspective into the American journey will come through the persona of Sequoyah, who created the written language of the Cherokee Indians.

Will Moreau, a Cherokee actor, scholar, storyteller, singer will portray Sequoyah.

This will be the first Chautauqua performance to look at the American Indian experience.

"It's a very important part of South Carolina history," Moreau said, sitting in Falls Park one recent morning. "This land that we're on right now is actually sacred Cherokee land. ... We had about 40,000 square miles of land that was the Cherokee nation at one time.

"And Sequoyah was a pivotal person during that transition between where we were a very big, prosperous, sovereign nation to where we were subjugated to taking the Trail of Tears."

The opening night of Chautauqua focuses on Cherokee Myths, Songs and Stories. The event in Falls Park will feature storytelling by Moreau, a presentation on Indian myths and legends, along with music and dance by the intertribal Tall Mountain River Singers.

On Saturday, the program moves to Greenville Tech, where there will be presentations nightly through June 21, and a number of daytime workshops at other locations around town.

While the Friday night performance has a different flavor than most Chautauqua evenings, "the gist of it is for all of us to understand together that we have a shared culture," said Caroline McIntyre, who will portray Mary Ingles.

Because history flows into the present, it's important to understand the past in order to give context to contemporary life, Frein said.

"We can't have a contemporary understanding of who we are without the story of our origins," Frein said.

Updated 6/27-06 - "Tavern scene shoot"

Another incredible shoot the other night at The Hunter Gatherer. All Cast was there along with some reporters from The State as well as WIS morning show, "Live with Lucas". WE got some incredible footage and managed to sail past our halfway point for completeing the film. I am very excited at all the great footage we are getting and it seems that with the new promo we completed, people are starting to see as well.

Bill Stephens, writer and assistant producer for Sleepy Hollow on the River, adjusts lights on the floor of Hunter-Gatherer, which was decorated to resemble a turn-of-the-century pub for a film shoot. The cast and crew of Sleepy Hollow on the River was shooting a film Monday night at Hunter-Gatherer on Main Street for its production in October at the West Columbia Riverwalk Amphitheater. This year’s production will incorporate video on a large screen behind the set to help transition between scenes.

Rand Courtney, director of Sleepy Hollow on the River, directs the cast as Shaun Riffle, right, sets up a shot they are filming for the performance.
