Roger and Louise: A Nebraska Folktale

An original Nebraska story told through the eyes of folklorists Roger Welsch and Louise Pound, by UNO Professor Todd Richardson. Each fall, Ollie Webb Center, Inc.’s Art of Imagination program creates an original inclusive theatrical production that includes both the individuals supported by OWCI programs and local theatrical talent. This year, we have partnered with Todd Richardson, Professor of the Goodrich Scholarship Program at University of Nebraska at Omaha. Using his background in folklore, he has weaved an original tale told through the lens of Nebraska’s famous folklorists Roger Welsch and Louise Pound to create a piece known as Roger and Louise.
