Theater: The Ghosts of Celilo

A fascinating and largely unexpected evening Saturday night at the theater; thanks to davidlevine having unexpectedly had two surplus tickets, my mother and I had the chance to see the second-night performance of The Ghosts of Celilo.  This is a brand new stage musical (though there's ten years of work on the part of its creators behind it) based on local history, specifically events leading up to the inundation of what was previously Celilo Falls, a key Indian salmon fishing site in the western part of the Columbia River Gorge.

( It's a complicated subject and a fascinating show.... )
