Spoon River, A Folk Musical
November 15 - 17
Based on The Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters, the deceased residents of the mythical town of Spoon River (inspired by Masters’ real-life hometown of St. Petersburg, Illinois) reflect upon their lives, each revealing their own epitaph. Some have known great sorrow, others great triumph. Their tales intersect, creating a mosaic of small-town life in early 1900s America. Their profound monologues are punctuated by traditional hymns and folk songs, resulting in an ultimately profound and joyful experience.
