Woody Guthrie's American Song

WOODY GUTHRIE’S AMERICAN SONG

An exuberant musical celebration of America, Woody Guthrie's American Song tells the life of the rambling folk singer through his words and music. Conceived and written by Peter Glazer, the musical has traveled all over America to rave reviews.

The New York Times said it "manages to find both the high beauty and the earthly humor of Guthrie's love affair with America." (12/9/98)

The musical follows Guthrie as he travels from the Dust Bowl to Redding, California, and later east to New York City. It includes over two dozen songs, including THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND (written while in Redding), SO LONG IT'S BEEN GOOD TO KNOW YUH, PASTURES OF PLENTY, HARD TRAVELIN', and BOUND FOR GLORY. Come and join in, sing along, and celebrate this joyous ode to America, then and today, as Axiom Repertory brings this North State Premiere to Redding, one-time hangout of the legendary Woody Guthrie.
