Woody Guthrie’s American Song in Sonora

Woody Guthrie’s American Song opens this month at Stage 3, 208 S. Green St, Sonora. The play has the foot-stompin’, roof-raisin’, toe-tappin’ heart-breakin’, soul-soarin’ musical journey of Woody Guthrie down highways, rail lines and back roads straight into the heart of America.

This exuberant musical celebration tells the life of the rambling folk singer through his words & music. From the dust storms of Texas to the promised land of California to the streets of New York City, Guthrie spins the tale of the land that ‘was made for you and me’.

This Land is your Land, Bound for Glory, and Hard Travelin’ are a few of the more than 2 dozen songs performed by 10 of our region’s finest actors, singers, and musicians. This evening of homespun wisdom, gentle humor, and majestic music will have you leaving the theater not only with a song in your heart, but also refreshed and invigorated with Guthrie’s own sense of tolerance and optimism.

The show runs Thursdays through Sundays, February – March 23; show times and ticket prices vary by date. For information or tickets, call 209-526-1778, Email info@stage3.org, or visit www.stage3.org.
