 ONE NIGHT ONLY!
The American frontier, 1867- A young woman flees her war-torn home to start a new life in an unfamiliar land. A thirteen song cycle of love, betrayal and redemption sung by the ghost of Anna Morgan Faber. "A series of magnificent narrative songs, performed just perfectly... An absolute triumph of music, production and mischievous willingness to unnerve. 5 Stars." - Edmonton Journal "The stand out musical performance of the 2013 Kansas City Fringe Festival... The Coldharts have a not to be missed hit on their hands." - KCMetropolis.org "...splendidly moving vocals, exquisite guitar artistry and rich emotional range convey genuinely epic storytelling. This production evokes an atmosphere, forlorn, spectral and sacred." - Minneapolis Star Tribune "The Legend of White Woman Creek" is a new music-theater piece told from the perspective of a ghost in Western Kansas. It weaves a narrative through thirteen original folk songs based on the traditional music that first inspired Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Joan Baez. Created and Performed by Katie Hartman. Created and Directed by Nick Ryan. We toured the show for two months this summer and we are very excited to present it for one night only in Brooklyn. The house will open at 7:30p, and we will begin the show at 8pm. We will be filming this performance and we would love to have you in the audience! www.thecoldharts.com  The Musical Theatre Factory presents
