Shasta College Theatre Presents The Voice of the Prairie

"Endearing" raved The New York Times, while the L.A. Times said, "A skillful play with a deft heart."  John Olive's Broadway hit, The Voice of the Prairie, directed by Casy Cann, is an unconventional love story set in the early beginnings of rural radio stations, or 'radio-on-the-run' on the American prairie. The Voice of the Prairie will be playing Thursday through Saturday, October 16-24 and Sunday, October 19th at the Shasta College Theatre. Show times are 7:30 pm with Sunday’s show starting at 2:00 pm. Tickets are available at the door for $9.00 (general admission) and $6.00 (seniors and students) or online: www.shastacollege.edu/theatre.  

The Voice of the Prairie brings together a blind girl, Frankie (Imani Jacob), and a vagabond, young Davey (Marquez Fudge) as they roam the heartland in 1895. Just as young love begins to blossom this young couple is unexpectedly ripped apart from one another. It is not until 1923, that a grown up David Quinn (Michael Swinehart) begins telling stories on the latest technology - the radio - about his boyhood love, a blind girl named Frankie. A captivated America listens with anticipation to hear more about the adventures of Frankie and Davey. Come see what happens and find out about "Miss Emily".
