Songwriter, folklorist, activist and longtime Theatricum friend Woody Guthrie is celebrated by members of the Geer family, Theatricum Company and special guests in this unique and engaging musical portrait of the self-described “rambling man from Oklahoma”. The show frames his life story with a variety of his songs, such as “Pastures of Plenty”, “Worried Man”, “Union Maid” and “This Land is Your Land”, as well as incorporating selections from published and unpublished writings of this influential American artist. Proceeds go to support the grand opening of The Shelter, the house built by Woody Guthrie on the grounds of Theatricum that will be renovated, opened to the public, and filled with fascinating archives to preserve the Activism and Resilience of Theatricum, Guthrie, and Geer.
