Singing Crow - a tale from the Brandywine: May 7-9


Plan to join us as Kimberton Hills Productions presents a new musical: Singing Crow - A tale from the Brandywine, 1738, May 7-9 in Rose Hall. 

This year’s production is special, as it is an original musical written by Veronika Roemer who has directed previous Kimberton Hills productions including Heidi - The Musical and The Sound of Music.
 
The story takes the audience back to the early pioneer time in the Brandywine Valley. Two new settler families have arrived from England, looking for a new and better life. They have been told that all the native people, the Lenape, have left the valley.  But one day 12-year-old Maggie meets a Lenape boy, named Singing Crow, while she is out in the forest picking berries.


Instead of writing new music, Ms. Roemer chose to find original music from that time period.  As the story unfolds, we hear songs from the early 1700s, songs that settlers from the British isles would have brought with them as part of their cultural heritage, as well as Native American music.

Performances dates are:
Friday, May 7: 8 p.m.
Saturday, May 8: 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Sunday, May 9: 2 p.m.

Suggested donations:
Children: $5.00
Adults: $12.00
Families: $30.00

All performances are located at Rose Hall, Camphill Village Kimberton Hills, 1601 Pughtown Road, Kimberton, PA 19442.
