A lively band of traveling players relates the story of their ancestors in this exhilarating tale of American life on the mid-Western prairies. This warm and touching late 19th century saga takes Lars and Kristina Andersson from the barren fields of Warmeland, Sweden, to the rich black soil of America. There, the Anderssons strive to make a home through childbirth, ravaging locusts and a tour through the Midwest as the unlikely stars of a popular traveling troupe. A unique blend of folk legend and half-forgotten prairie history, “Portable Pioneer And Prairie Show” is a stirring, compelling and highly original celebration of a little-known immigrant experience. In true traveling show fashion, a small, versatile ensemble handles all of the performing chores with gusto (they can even double as the show’s musicians), highlighted by an appealing score of dazzling breadth by Mel Marvin (“Tintypes”).
