Specially commissioned and developed by STC, this dramatic new musical chronicles the true story of the harrowing travels of pioneers who faced unspeakable trials when trapped in the high Sierra Nevada in the winter of 1846 to 1847. Written by Eric Rockwell and Margaret Rose, California natives and authors of STC’s 2013 production of A Little Princess, this world premiere musical continues STC’s commitment to produce new, locally-relevant works each season.
This production is sponsored by Remy Moose Manley LLP.
