Shows

Woody Guthrie's American Song

By Peter Glazer
Directed by Luther Hanson

 

Just in time for Woody Guthrie’s Centennial, this play celebrates the life and work of one of our country’s greatest storytellers and songwriters.  With songs like “Worried Man,”  “Pastures of Plenty,” and “This Land is Your Land,” Woody Guthrie honored the common working man through some of the hardest times our country ever faced.  With hard times upon us again, his stories and music uplift us once more, and remind us of the great power of the human spirit.

 

In reviving this sold-out production from ten years ago, City Theatre gathers together a live band and a cast of twenty-five to bring Woody Guthrie’s work to life.  Written and conceived by Peter Glazer, directed by Luther Hanson, and with musical direction by Bradley Moates, this production will entertain your family, restore your spirit, and renew your dreams of a better world for all.
