Perpich Arts High School presents “Quilters” this weekend in the Small Sanctuary.
Friday, April 21 at 7:00 PM
Saturday, April 22 at 1:00 PM
This performance will be a fundraiser for New Branches, and therefore, there will be no set tickets price for this performance. However, there will be a good will offering collected. We hope to see you there. This will serve as the first of many performances that will take place at New Branches.
So what is Quilters?
Quilters is the story of a pioneer woman, Sarah, and her seven daughters as they face life in the American frontier. Rather than a straightforward storyline, the musical is presented as a series of beautiful tales and tableaux matched with musical numbers, each presenting an aspect of frontier life or womanhood. The patches or blocks show “girlhood, marriage, childbirth, spinsterhood, twisters, fire, illness, and death.” These patches are ultimately put together to form one dramatic musical tableau.
Please note – Due to some of the subject matter, this show is suggested for those 12 and older.
