About the show:
Tales from tenement Manhattan, Depression-era Utah, and rural 1950s Indiana are woven together in this new folk musical. With a book by critically acclaimed playwright Jaclyn Backhaus and a score developed by a group of New York’s emerging singer/songwriters, Folk Wandering is an American celebration of the untold grief that moves us forward.
