Final Performances at Playwrights Theatre

Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie
by Julie Jensen

"The gap that often exists between children's theater and theater considered satisfying/acceptable entertainment for mature adults has been gainfully closed by playwright Julie Jensen. In her adventurous and appealing Across The Wide and Lonesome Prairie we share the experiences as well as the hopes and aspirations of Hattie and Pepper as they make their way from Missouri to Oregon. Mostly, it is a tale about courage." -- Simon Saltzman, Curtain Up
