2023-2024 Season Announcement

Saved at the Crossroads

An affectionate recreation of the thrilling melodramas that toured our country in late 19th century.  Filled with stock characters such a greedy villain, the long-suffering young widow, a precocious child, and our nick-of-time hero, these melodramas performed for a country reeling from the impact of the Civil War, the Gold Rush, and the greed of Robber Barons in the infancy of the Industrial Age.   

Melodramas of that era featured musical numbers and recitations (called olio acts) while the stage hands shifted scenery and the cast changed costumes.  We will honor that tradition with a variety of popular songs and poems of the day presented in the great music hall tradition.  Audiences will enjoy the opportunity to join in singing those wonderful, innocent songs from a by-gone age while awaiting our magnificent scenic changes.
