Acclaimed one-man play comes to Oklahoma State University campus

Friday, April 17, 2015

The Oklahoma Wildlife Management Foundation (OWMF) announced it is bringing Aldo Leopold - A Standard of Change, a one-man play performed by Jim Pfitzer, to Oklahoma State University on Tuesday, April 21, at 7:30 p.m., in Click Hall at the OSU Alumni Center.

Considered the father of wildlife management, Leopold wrote the best-selling book A Sand County Almanac prior to his death, which has sold more than two million copies to date.

He died of a heart attack in 1948, while battling a wildfire on a neighbor's property.

According to the OWMF, there will be three performances of the play; all three are free and open to the public, but seating is limited at all locations.

The performance is made possible by a grant from the Oklahoma Humanities Council.

Other sponsors include: Oklahoma History Center, Jerome Westheimer Family Foundation, Mary K. Oxley Nature Center Assoc., Dept. of Integrative Biology-OSU, and Dept. of Natural Resource Ecology & Management-OSU, Tulsa Audubon Society, Dave Zucconi, the Waters Family, Oklahoma Leopold Education Project and the Oklahoma City Community Foundation.

About the Oklahoma Humanities Council

The Oklahoma Humanities Council (OHC) is an independent, nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote meaningful public engagement with the humanities—disciplines such as history, literature, film studies, ethics, and philosophy. The humanities offer a deeper understanding of ourselves and others by confronting us with the questions, values, and meanings of the human experience.

As the state partner for the National Endowment for the Humanities, OHC brings people together to explore these ideas through programming and community grants that support book groups, exhibits, film festivals, teacher institutes, and more. OHC engages people in their own communities, providing forums for education, critical thinking, and productive civil discourse.
