In 2007 and again in 2012, Princeton University undergraduates brought to the stage in English two works by Alexander Pushkin (one play and one adapted novel in verse). Sergei Prokofiev provided incidental music for both in 1936, at two different Moscow theaters (Meyerhold's company and Tairov's Moscow Chamber Theater). Neither production survived the rising tensions of the Terror in the arts and each was abandoned before opening night. This essay describes the recuperation of these Pushkin “Stalinist Jubilee” projects on an American campus by one of their co-managers, with special attention to the type of humanities education available through such performance activities. Eleven images and eight short video-clips are embedded in the discussion
