Quilters is a play with song and music that celebrates the pioneer women who settled the prairie.  It is based on the book The Quilters: Women and Domestic Art by Patricia Cooper and Norma Bradley Allen. It was nominated for 6 Tony Awards.

The show’s strength is in its unassuming honesty. It creates moods, more than it does drama, and its best moods are straightforward, like the people it is celebrating. The script is divided into 16 sections or "blocks," each dealing with a theme such as childbirth, school days, windmills, courtship, weddings, country roads, religion, and even log cabins. At the start of each section, one of the actresses unfolds a block of quilting, which incorporates that section’s theme into its design. Handsome and tidy pieces of work, the blocks combine at the end to make one huge quilt which, when raised high, is the flag of pioneer womanhood.

We are looking forward to this!!!
