Annual Grand Marais Playhouse Community Youth play ( High school)

 

This play centers on Sarah and six of her daughters  Sarah works on her final project, her "legacy" quilt. Each block of the quilts tells a story of the women on the frontier. Sarah and her daughter enact the many characters in the stories and songs that are woven throughout. The audience is brought on the journey of these women as they go through hardship and joys of life on the prairie. This is a beautiful piece of theater.

Performances are March 7-10 and 14-17. Thursday - Sat. 7 PM and Sundays 2 PM.

Tickets are $10 adults, $5 youth (12-17) and $3 Child (under12)
