Based on the book The Quilters: Women and Domestic Art
By Patricia Cooper Baker and Norma Buferd

A perfect event for Veteran’s Day—celebrate the spirit of our pioneer roots and fundamental American values. Live the stories of the women who helped to settle our Midwestern country in QUILTERS.

Pieced together and stitched with pride, QUILTERS depicts the moving story of a pioneer woman and her daughters.  The show blends a series of scenes which capture the sweep and beauty, the terror and joy, the harsh challenge and abiding rewards of life on the American frontier. 

Illuminating stories filled with music and dance reveal the lot of women on the frontier: girlhood, marriage, childbirth, illness death—along with the ever present threat of natural disaster from tornadoes, prairie fire and blizzards.  QUILTERS reflects love, warmth, humor and the moving spectacle of simple human dignity and steadfastness in the face of adversity.

“ … a tender and moving theatre work, a human patchwork rippling in the breeze of memory.”  Newsweek

“QUILTERS is a show pieced together with love and stitched with pride .. a thing of beauty, comfort and joy.”  The New York Post
