A Full Musical Production at the Belknap Mill
The story of a pioneer woman and her six daughters, Quilters blends a series of interrelated scenes into a rich mosaic which captures the sweep and beauty, the terror and joy, the harsh challenge and abiding rewards of frontier life with various “blocks” of music. In the end, when the patches are assembled into one glorious, colorful quilt, the effect is breathtaking and magical—and a masterstroke which will linger in the mind and memory long after the house lights have dimmed.
