Pierre Players Presents: "Quilters"

Within the threads of a quilt lies a family's history. "Quilters," by Molly Newman and Barbara Damashek, reveals the story of a legacy quilt made by one woman for her six daughters. The characters, inspired by their exquisite handmade quilts, tell stories of love, joy and sorrow found in each pattern. Each quilt block commemorates an event in their lives.

Originally developed and produced at the Denver Center Theater 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 women.

Nominated for six Tony awards, including best musical, best book and best score, "Quilters" is a show pieced together with love and stitched with pride...a thing of beauty, comfort and joy,"--NY Post. For more information, contact Director Ann Rathbun at 605-222-9264 or arathbun9264@gmail.com.
