Spoon River Anthology

Via a series of musical interludes, we are introduced to the ghosts of those who were inhabitants of Spoon River and whose secrets have gone with them to the grave. Spoon River Anthology, as part of the 2nd annual Midtown International Theatre Festival, is made up of 60-odd characterizations and vignettes, which offer an amazingly varied array of roles from young lovers, preachers and teachers to the funny chronicle of the poor mixed-up Jew who ends up in the wrong cemetery. Both sad and humorous sides of life are portrayed, with fetching ballads, and free verse form of author Edgar Lee Masters. Adapted by Charles Aidman and produced and directed by Ken Bachtold.
