Description: Quilters is pieced together with love and stitched with pride…a thing of beauty, comfort and joy.
New York Post Nominated for 6 Tony Awards, “Quilters” is a magical musical about a pioneer woman and her daughters sharing stories and songs through their exquisite handmade quilts; each quilt block commemorating an event in their lives. Quilters blends a series of interrelated scenes into a rich mosaic which captures the sweep and beauty, the terror and joy, the harsh challenge and abiding rewards of frontier life. Illuminating stories contained in various patches or “blocks” with music, dance and drama, the action depicts the lot of women on the frontier: girlhood, marriage, childbirth, spinsterhood, twisters, fire, illness and death. But, with this, there is also love, warmth, rich and lively humor and the moving spectacle of simple human dignity and steadfastness in the face of adversity.
