Nostalgia Meets the Modern Age

The 49th Annual Laura Ingalls Wilder Pageant is a go!
(In an old fashioned yet innovative way!)

Broadcasted live from De Smet in July 2020, The Hard Winter Radio Show was streamed by hundreds if of Laura fans from around the world! Unable to hold an in-person performance because of Covid-19 precautions, our directorial team put together a fantastic show that both harkened back to our roots and entertained us in the comfort of our homes. In cooperation with South Dakota Public Broadcasting, we broadcast via Facebook LIVE and on SDPB TV and SDPB Radio with a reprised broadcast in late December 2020.

Watch The Hard Winter any time courtesy of SDPB by clicking on our sponsor list below. This wouldn't have been possible without the support from our sponsors, SDPB, and the hard work of our directors and cast.
