A powerful portrait of life in turn-of-the-century America, based on E.L. Doctorow's distinguished novel, and full of show-stopping songs.  The musical intertwines the stories of three extraordinary families, as they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America. Called by Time Magazine "A triumph for the stage," and by the International Herald Tribune "the best musical in twenty years," this acclaimed musical won two Tony Awards in 1998. 

June 26 - July 15
Rodgers & Hammerstein's first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, having set the standards and established the rules of musical theatre still being followed today. Set in a Western Indian territory just after the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background  for one of America's most beloved musicals!

At 84 Main St, New London; Info: 526-4631 or 526-6710 or http://www.nlbarn.org
