Summary "The original play, Tales from the Canyon: The Olinda Story, was staged last fall by Brea's Curtis Theatre as a project under the California Stories Initiative ... The California Council for the Humanities provides grant funding to help preserve unique local history in communities throughout the State under the California Stories Initiative. Brea's recent project captured the challenges of early settlers using stories based on actual oral histories and original source material in collaboration with California State University Fullerton's Center for Oral and Public History. The live production was directed by the playwright, William Mittler, and featured a talented cast of local actors who turned in moving performances capturing both the humor and anxiety of a harsh life drilling for oil in the rich Puente hills near Olinda"--City of Brea, California, website.
