Quilters: A Dramatic Musical
Quilters: A dramatic musical by Classical Academy High School students: This Broadway licensed musical/drama is the story of a pioneer woman and her six daughters. It blends a series of related scenes into a tender, moving mosaic capturing the sweep, beauty, the terror and joy, harsh challenges and rewards of frontier life. Illuminating stories are presented in separate scenes with music, dance and drama. They are about the lives of women on the American frontier, including scenes about girlhood, marriage, childbirth, spinsterhood, tornados, fire, illness and death. There is also love, warmth, rich and lively humor and the simple human dignity and courage when facing adversity. At the finale, the various scenes are assembled into one glorious, colorful, magical quilt.
