Synopsis: | Originally developed and produced at the Denver Center Theatre company, this joyous and moving celebration of American Womanhood became a record-setting regional theater success before its presentations on Broadway and at the Edinburgh Festival. Combining music, dance movement and scenes of vivid dramatic intensity, the play pays eloquent tribute to the courage and spirit of our nation's pioneer woman. "Who would have thought that quilts, quilting-quilters-had so much joy and pain, laughter and tears, so much life, beauty and drama in them?" -Drama-Logue. ". . .an unqualified success, as bright as the colors used in the quilts themselves." -Hollywood Reporter. "QUILTERS is a show pieced together with love and stitched with pride. . .a thing of beauty, comfort and joy." -NY Post. ". . .a tender and moving theatre work, a human patchwork rippling in the breeze of memory." -Newsweek. | |||||

Synopsis: | A requiem for the forgotten: lost people who roam the netherworld of our city streets. Her work, based on direct testimony collected in Louisville's missions, day centres and soup kitchens, and echoed by the voices of transients from other parts of the country, is a resonant tribute to our indomitable will to survive | |||||
