WOODY GUTHRIE’S AMERICAN SONG

WOODY GUTHRIE’S AMERICAN SONG – Songs & Writings by Woody Guthrie, Conceived & Adapted by Peter Glazer, Orchestrations & Arrangements by Jeff Waxman, Directed by Elizabeth Craven

WOODY GUTHRIE’S AMERICAN SONG is first and foremost a celebration of American life, our history, our struggles, our joys as seen and heard through the eyes and ears of one of America’s greatest folk music treasures, Woody Guthrie. Written for five actors and three musicians, this ensemble play traverses our land “from California to the New York Island…from the redwood forests to the deep sea waters.” And like the song says, this play was made for you and me. Playing to sold out audiences all over the country, this musical is a must see for adults and kids alike.

THE SEAFARER is a chilling play about the sea, Ireland, and the power of myth. It’s Christmas Eve, and Sharky has returned to Dublin to look after his irascible, aging brother who’s recently gone blind. Old drinking buddies Ivan and Nicky are holed up at the house too, hoping to play some cards. But with the arrival of a stranger from the distant past, the stakes are raised ever higher. Sharky may be playing for his very soul.
