The Sunday, November 4 perfomance of Steve Here-->X will be taped in front of an audience in the television production studio of the Eugene S. Pulliam Center for Contemporary Media, and presented live to the community on D3TV at 2:30 p.m. Only 20 tickets are available to this performance. They can be acquired for free at the Green Center Box office.

Using interactions between man and nature, the play combines excerpts from "Of Wolves, Moose, and Daughters," written as part of a residency at Isle Royale National Park, with a collection of monologues titled “Monologues from the Wilderness,” written during a Fisher Fellowship.   "Of Wolves, Moose and Daughters" tells the story of a father trying to “hike some sense” into his distanced teenage daughter.  Woven through this frame are the monologues based on the playwright's encounters during months of backpacking and kayaking in wilderness areas across the country such as Isle Royale National Park, Yellowstone, the Gila National Forest in New Mexico and southern Illinois’ Shawnee National Forest.

Steve Here-->X tells the stories of people purposely immersed in the wild: an environment that intensifies fears, simplifies needs and desires, and invites self-reflection and the examination of one’s place.  According to Timm, the reduction of daily clutter to "eat, drink, sleep, hike, paddle” offers clarity and perspective.  “Initially though, I thought I’d walk into the wilderness and have a series of epiphanies.  When that didn’t happen, I discovered I was more interested in how people I met along the trail interpreted their experiences in the wild.”  Those encounters and observations led to the stories that comprise "Of Wolves, Moose, and Daughters" and the series of monologues.  

This production is recommended for mature audiences.
