American Conservatory Theater’s Young Conservatory (YC) presents Ladies of the Canyon: The Music of Joni Mitchell, created and directed by YC Director Craig Slaight, with musical direction by Krista Wigle and musical arrangements by Naomi Sanchez.
An all-female cast performs 24 classic Joni Mitchell songs, including “Both Sides Now,” “Big Yellow Taxi,” “Help Me,” “Woodstock,” “Free Man in Paris,” and “The Circle Game.” Singing solo and in full ensemble, the cast will address some of Mitchell’s most emotionally complex work. The piece contains no spoken text, and each song constitutes its own dramatic scene.
Previews: June 4 at 7:30 p.m. and June 5 at 2 p.m.
Opening: June 5 at 7:30 p.m.
