Episode 3: The Centenarian Play
Amplified Oklahoma Show Notes
July 15, 2016
Show Notes
Whether it's "Hamilton," "Mad Men," or "Saving Private Ryan," everyone loves a little bit of history packed in with their entertainment. In this episode, we're focusing on how the OSU Library transformed the Oklahoma 100 Year Life Oral History Project into "The Centenarian Play." We'll hear from OSU student Trey Phipps and talk about his experience portraying centenarian Delmar Hopkins in the performance. Dr. Alex Bishop from OSU's College of Human Sciences joins us to discuss the use of oral history interviews in his classes. Finally, writer and director Dr. Julie Pearson-Little Thunder from the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program shares her thoughts on creating performances based on oral history interviews.
