Synopsis:
Thomas, covers the story of his relationship with Maria Bartow and beyond. Through the contemporary eyes of a young docent of the 21st Century, Sarah Bennington, guides the audience through an unforgettable home tour Of the Cole House. She tends to embellish many of the facts Thomas Cole's life. But we are put right through a several surprising events that provide us with the truth. We discover how the young Thomas Cole had to make up his mind to being an artist instead of following his father's wishes for him to become a lawyer. The setting for this drama takes place in two places. One setting is seen through the magic of multi-media projections focused entirely on the stunning views of the Hudson River, and woven into the play are several of Cole's published poems. Tthe second setting is the home of Maria's Uncle Alexander Thomson. Thomas Cole named Uncle Sandy's home "Cedar Grove," located in the charming Village of Catskill, New York. Cole meets Maria 1835 and in 1836 they marry. After his sudden death at the age of 47 the play then follows the life of his widow Maria's life until her death in 1884.
