As the twentieth century dawned, America stood on the threshold of a bright and wondrous future. The coming century held a promise of new technology, new ways of thinking, and new ways of living. Spurts of growth and prosperity were punctuated by times of upheaval such as war, the Great Depression, and prohibition.  Beginning with the 1900’s, Americana takes us through ten decades of the music that highlighted our joys, sorrows, trials and accomplishments.
This step back in time is lead by first time Director Joni Sauer-Folger, with musical direction by Diane Nelson, the cast of Americana features: Caryn Backman, Roberta Bettis, Bill Briot, Vince DeYoung, Diane Ericson, Bill Farnum, Kelli McMellon, Matt Mumford, Margaret Page, Joni Sauer-Folger and Wally Nelson.
Come and join us as we celebrate our Nation’s Independence through song and dance with this melodic journey through our history.
