QUILTERS from Page 12
song that it does not seem like a
musical, certainly not in the classic
Broadway or Hollywood tradition,
but hardly a scene is without the
music of the human voice. Each
segment has its own song to evoke the
mood of its memories, and the strains
of old Christian hymns reappear
throughout
The opening night’s performance
was sometimes lacking in energy, a
few lines were stepped on and
perhaps a couple of scenes paused for
a beat too long. There were also
occasional problems with an actor
being drowned out by background
noises.
But the cast generally gave good
performances, each one with at least
one monologue in which to shine.
Unfortunately, only Lucca-Thy
bcrg’scharaclcr wasgiven a name, so
only her performance, which
wonderfully bounced between
Sarah’s elderly present and spry
memories, can be fisted as a standout.
The other actresses are Katrina
Eicher-Sherrill, Carolyn Slemp,
Mary Ellen Park, Shaun RyLee
Harner, Rebecca Miclette Loomis,
and Christina E. BosL
“Quilters” is a very recent play,
originally developed at the Denver
Center Theater Company. Totten did
not know what year the play was
written, but a traveling tour company
presented it at Kimball Hall in 1985,
which she said was probably close to
its creation date.
The playbook was written by
Molly Newman and Barbara
Damashck, music and lyrics by
Damashck. They arc the expert
quilters who created this excellent
work on a piece of the human exper
ience.
The play is about women, but not
just for them. Maybe the play is
specifically about the frontier, but the
author has a knowledge of the
common experience of people wider
than the whole of the west.
