Why Women Went West

Mike Stull (entrepreneurship), Stacey Fraser (music), Kristi Papailler (theatre arts) and Brian Levin (criminal justice) were mentioned in recent news coverage, and a study by Gisela Bichler (criminal justice) was recently published.

“Why Women Went West” is a multi-media chamber opera that tells the unfolding narrative of a sole woman protagonist, Mary Hunter Austin, and her journey west. The performance is free and will be presented at RAFFMA on March 9 at 5 p.m.

The NEA grant has allowed the CSUSB Opera Theatre to create two full-length works this spring semester, with one that premiered last month and the next, “The New Frontier: An Atomic Age Jazz Opera,” to premiere on March 24.
