My AntoniA

My Antonia is a musical adaptation of Willa Cather’s masterpiece about the immigrant experience in Nebraska in 1900. Commissioned by Theatre Latté Da in Minneapolis, we are working in collaboration with Jessie Austrian and Noah Brody of Fiasco Theater as part of their NEXT Generation Commission. Our piece puts the author herself onstage with her characters as a way to engage with the fallibility of memory and the question of how we understand our own past. The band is onstage among the actors playing a sweeping indie folk score.
