The Broad River Arts Center will present Quilters, the joyous and inspiring musical commemoration of American pioneer women, by Molly Newman and Barbara Damashek. Performances are at 7:30 pm. Feb. 7, 8, 14 and 15, as well as 3 p.m. Feb. 9 and 16.
Nominated for six Tony awards, Quilters is a valentine from American history. It traces the heroic journey of a family through a tapestry of scenes and songs celebrating their courage, resilience and love. Their journey is told by Sarah Bonham and her daughters
through quilt patterns known as blocks, with each one representing a piece of their lives.
The centerpiece of the show is an original quilt made by eight seamstresses at Virginia Wingard Memorial United Methodist Church in St. Andrews. "Utilizing their skills for this
production was a natural fit," show director Donna Wilson said.
The ensemble includes Debi Young as Sarah Bonham, along with daughters Diane Gilbert, Christi Pirkle, Shelby Sessler, Catherine Kelley and Stephanie Villamizar.
Accompaniment for the songs is provided by Greg Boatwright, with choreography by Cindy Flach. Patrick Faulds is the scene designer and technical director.
Admission is $20. Tickets are available at the door and online at
www.broadriverartscenter.org . The Center, a new arts venue offering a variety of concerts and theatre productions, is located at the church, 1500 Broad River Road.
