Marin Theatre Company Presents WOODY GUTHRIE’S AMERICAN SONG, 5/27-6/20

Marin Theatre Company (397 Miller Avenue, Mill Valley, CA) presents Woody Guthrie'S AMERICAN SONG, a musical based on the life and times of the legendary songwriter. Conceived, adapted & directed by Peter Glazer with orchestrations & vocal arrangements by Jeff Waxman, Woody Guthrie'S AMERICAN SONG will run from May 27 through June 20 with an Opening Night set for June 1.

Legendary folk singer Woody Guthrie wrote songs about hard times-the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, high unemployment, and war. But he also sang about the joy of being alive and being an American. This stirring musical follows Guthrie as he rambles coast to coast from California to the New York Islands, and features over two dozen of his most famous songs, including Bound for Glory and This Land Is Your Land.

The cast features Lisa Asher, Berwick Haynes, Sam Misner, Matthew Mueller, and Megan Pearl Smith. The band includes Chuck Ervin, Tony Marcus, and Harry Yaglijian.
