Steven Dietz
Steven Dietz (born June 23, 1958) is an American playwright, theatre director, and teacher. Called "the most ubiquitous American playwright whose name you may never have heard", Dietz has long been one of America's most prolific and widely produced playwrights. In 2019, Dietz was again named one of the 20 most-produced playwrights in America. Though several of his plays have been seen Off-Broadway (including "Fiction", "Lonely Planet", "God's Country"), the vast majority of Dietz's plays are produced in American regional theaters. Seattle WA and Chicago IL are among the cities that have proved to be enduring homes for his work. Seattle's ACT Theatre has produced 12 plays by Dietz, including 7 world premieres. This includes a recent new variation on his own adaptation of "Dracula" (the most widely produced adaptation of that title in the U.S.) entitled "Dracula: Mina's Quest".

The trappers appeal to him to take a petition to the Governor which would prohibit the timber people from coming to their side of the lake.

God's Country (1985 Film)
''God's Country'' is a 1985 documentary film about Glencoe, Minnesota, by French filmmaker Louis Malle. Original footage of a farming community, 60 miles west of Minneapolis, Minnesota was filmed in 1979 for a PBS documentary. But for the next six years Malle was too busy with other projects to finish this work. He returned in 1985 for a follow-up and found the community reacting to the mid eighties crisis of overproduction in farm country. Malle documented a sense of frustration and apprehension from the same participants he had befriended in better times half a decade earlier. The film is occasionally shown on Turner Classic Movies, and is available on DVD from the Criterion Collection. The name of the film comes from the widespread belief in American folklore that the United States of America has an exceptional status in the world as "God's country A country is a distinct part of the world, such as a state, nation, or other political entity. It may be a sovereign state ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Shelton first heard the song while working on his farm in Oklahoma, and was blown away by the song. He related "I had to stop and just listen to this song, because the song was talking to me about a place that I was in at that moment, which was a place in the middle of nowhere that meant something to me that probably nobody else could ever understand, what that is and what it is inside of me and what my connection is to the land." He recalled thinking "I've gotta record this song, and I think I even dec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
God's Country (Travis Scott Song)
"God's Country" is a song by American rapper Travis Scott from his fourth studio album ''Utopia'' (2023). It was written and produced by him, 30 Roc and Dez Wright.
