John Muir: Watch, Pray, and Fight! - a one man play featuring Mark Raddatz
Gesa Power House Theatre presents “John Muir: Watch, Pray, and Fight” a play created and performed by Mark Raddatz on Saturday, April 15 at 7:00 p.m.
In order to capture the essence of the legendary mountaineer, naturalist, and founder of the Sierra Club, Mark Raddatz composed the script entirely from Muir’s own words. This is not a biographical essay or paraphrase of an animal story. This is Muir as he would have appeared and spoken to an audience in his own time.
Without explanation or exposition, Raddatz launches into the sort of talk Muir might have made during the fight for Yosemite and the national park idea. For just over an hour, the audience is treated to the poetry, wit, insight and passion that made John Muir the most effective voice for preservation in his own time and a remarkably pertinent voice in ours. His portrayal is thoughtful, thorough and humorous – and makes a very entertaining evening.
Mark Raddatz is a professional actor who has appeared in television, movies, numerous Shakespeare festivals, and many local Walla Walla theater productions.
Reserved seating tickets ($18 Adults, $15 Students) are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.
