The Aspen-based Hudson Reed Ensemble will debut the pilot episode of its new original web series, “Confluence,” on Saturday.
Filmed in the Roaring Fork Valley, it is set in the fictional mountain town of Confluence, Colorado, a few miles downstream from a famous ski resort.
The series follows characters including a bartender and a polo farm owner.
“They may live on opposite ends of the social and economic strata,” reads the theater company’s announcement, “but they all have one thing in common: They make very bad decisions.”
The series follows the 2020 Hudson Reed online release of “Macbeth,” filmed locally last summer after the novel coronavirus pandemic forced cancellation of the company’s annual Shakespeare in the Park presentation.
About five years ago, administrators in Kansas City Unified School District 500 realized they had a huge problem, particularly at a few of the district s high schools.
In one of the state s largest, but poorest, districts, not only were students missing school or class time excessively, but often, it was a problem of the schools making, since teachers and administrators kept referring students to the principals offices, where some students were further sent home with suspensions.
At one building, Schlagle High School, students were sent to the office 2,400 times, or 2.3 referrals per student a rate more than three times higher than the Kansas average. More than 650 students received suspensions, and between the suspensions and office referrals, students were cumulatively losing more than 109,000 minutes of instructional time, or 228 days of school.
