Woody Guthrie’s American Song serves as a musical tribute to the American folk singer and poet, Woody Guthrie, conceived and adapted by Peter Glazer. It uses Guthrie’s own songs and writings to narrate his life and the historical and social forces that shaped him and the nation, such as the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and labor struggles. The show brings to life the spirit of Guthrie’s music as a celebration of American history, its people, their struggles, and their joys.
