"QUILTERS is a show pieced together with love and stitched with pride … athing of beauty, comfort and joy." – The New York Post

"... a tender and moving theatre work, a human patchwork rippling in thebreeze of memory.." – Newsweek

“Who would have thought that quilts, quilting – quilters – had so much joyand pain, laughter and tears, so much life, beauty and drama in them?” –Drama–Logue

Using the story of a pioneer woman and her six daughters, QUILTERS blendsa series of interrelated scenes into a rich mosaic which captures thesweep and beauty, the terror and joy, the harsh challenges and abidingrewards of frontier life. Illuminating stories using quilt blocks, music,dance, drama and laughter, the action depicts the joys and sorrows of thelives of women on the American frontier. This wonderful and upliftingfamily musical will utilize the talents of local quilters, musicians andactresses. Produced by the music and theatre arts programs at SkagitValley College with the support of the Associated Student Body by specialarrangement with the Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
