Woody Guthrie's American Song is an ensemble musical theater piece adapted from the songs and writings of "America's premiere folk poet." The show uses Guthrie's storytelling to create narrative contexts for his music: the song "Bound For Glory" is sung in a crowded freight car heading west in the 1930s, a scene vividly described in Guthrie's autobiography. Another scene from his book, which takes place in a camp for migrant workers in Redding, California in 1938, becomes the setting for an evening of shared songs and stories. Throughout the play, the importance of music in helping people find meaning in their lives is always at the fore.
Theatre Production Workshop
​
Coming the summer of 2025, we will be holding a workshop that will delve into all the departments that are required to stage a live theatrical performance. These departments are Set and Production Design, Costuming, Lighting, Sound, Stage Managing, and Directing. At the end of the workshop, a play will be cast; each department will then have three weeks to come up with their designs and present them to the director. Upon approval of the designs, the production will go into rehearsal for four weeks, and then the play will be staged.
