Inspired by Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," this family musical tells a tale of intolerance, greed and rebirth where 3 cultures collide on the New Mexico border. A group of singing cowboys take us on a Christmas Eve journey into the dark heart of Ethan Scrawlett--"the man who rides alone."

 | A moving musical narrative of the Civil War, told in the words of the very diverse men and women who sided with the Union. Presented as a musical entertainment years after the events by the rag-tag company of actor Harry Hawk, the man who stood alone on stage when Lincoln was shot by Booth. Reunion is an attempt to tell the story of the Civil War through the eyes of those who took up the Union cause--an intersection of theatre and history, weaving together songs, visual images and dialogue. It is designed as a Victorian entertainment--the great American epic as it might have been told by a 19th-Century Homer and a wandering company of actors. | |||||
