Photo Flash: Woody Guthrie Dreams At Theater For The New City
"Woody Guthrie Dreams" a play by Michael Patrick Flanagan Smith directed by Isabel Milenski takes place in the final moments of the iconic American folk singer's life. Guthrie, a hard-bitten Dust Bowl Balladeer, sign painter, social activist, WWII veteran, union man and author of "This Land is Your Land" spent the final decade of his life bedridden in a psychiatric ward. Guthrie dreams his way back through life, revisiting moments of his own biography, playing songs across the nation with Pete Seeger, Cisco Houston and Lead Belly. Guthrie is swept up in a whirlwind romance with the love of his life, Marjorie, a Martha Graham dancer. He battles his own fears, insecurities and a long debilitating illness, all the while throwing himself into a wild attempt at creating a better world, one sung chorus after another.
The cast of Woody Guthrie includes Michael Patrick Flanagan Smith as Woody Guthrie, Ben Curtis as Pete Seeger, Jennifer Restivo, Caleb Stine, Kelvin Hale, Stephanie Wright Thompson, Erica Lutz, Benjamin Jaeger-Thomas, Oona Laurence and Aimee Laurence
Woody Guthrie Dreams will run in the Theater for the New City, 155 First Ave, NYC Sept. 8 - Oct. 1 2011; Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8:00 pm, Sunday at 3pm
