During the early days of radio, Davey Quinn becomes famous as the Voice of the Prairie, telling tales of his adventures with Frankie, a blind girl he once saved from her abusive father. Years later his radio broadcasts reunite him with Frankie, now a school teacher, and their adventures together begin again! One of the most popular contemporary plays, The Voice of the Prairie has been called "endearing" (NY Times) and "first-rate entertainment." (Torrington Register Citizen)

Executive Artistic Director Meredith Hagedorn says that The Voice of the Prairie "has held a very special place in my heart since I first saw it done at a magical place called Horse Cave Theatre in Horse Cave, KY. I grew up ushering there, then I matured as a union actor there in the mid-90s along with my mother who was their Costume Designer for 11 years. There was a full-sized train car built on the stage on a turn-table and when Frankie and Davey stood on top of it ready to jump off into the future, I was hooked."

Featuring: Robert Sean Campbell (Davey Quinn), Tom Gough (Leon Schwab and others), and Maria Giere Marquis (Frankie and others)

Designers & Production Team: Ashley Taylor Frampton (Production Manager), Josiah Frampton (Box Office Manager), Meredith Hagedorn (Director/Artistic Director), Lance Huntley (Sound Engineer), Brooke Jennings (Costume Design), Martyn Jones (Sound Design), Linda Olbourne (Company Manager), Jesse Ploog (Set Design/Assistant Stage Manger), Katie Siemans (Stage Manager), Jeff Swan (Lighting Design), Kimberly Wadycki (Managing Director and Press Inquiries)
