1st Stage Extends QUILTERS Through End of December

1st Stage's Quilters, book by Molly Newman and Barbara Damashek, with lyrics and music by Barbara Damashek, directed by Deidra LaWan Starnes, has been extended through December 31.

Quilters beautifully weaves together the stories of pioneer women through a patchwork of music, dance, and storytelling. Exploring themes of love, loss, and family with a heartwarming blend of humor and poignancy, Quilters pays tribute to the indomitable spirit of women in the face of adversity. “Quilters is a show pieced together with love and stitched with pride...a thing of beauty, comfort, and joy.”- The New York Post

The 1st Stage production of Quilters features Liz Weber, Ezinne Elele (previously seen in Under the Sea with Dredgie McGee), Patricia Hurley, Kalen Robinson, O’Malley Steuerman, Maggie Leigh Walker (previously seen in Bat Boy), and Abigail Weinel. The production is directed by 1st Stage Associate Artistic Director, Deidra LaWan Starnes.

The design team includes: choreography by Pauline Lamb, music direction by Jake Null, scenic design by Sarah Beth Hall, lighting design by Min Joo Kim, assistant lighting design by Jack Beckey, sound design by Kevin Alexander, costume design by Cidney Forkpah, props design by Rooster Skylar Sultan, and intimacy coordination by Lorraine Ressegger.
