Theater Latté Da is ready to wow you with a world premiere, classics reimagined and more music theater that is guaranteed to make your heart sing!
MY ÁNTONIA
EXTENDED THROUGH JUL 19!
Conceived by Jessie Austrian, Noah Brody, Kate Kilbane and Dan Moses
Music and Lyrics by The Kilbanes
Book by Noah Brody
Adapted from the novel by Willa Cather
Directed by Jessie Austrian
Choreographed by Joey Miller
Music Direction by Jason Hansen
In this Latté Da-commissioned world premiere, Willa Cather’s beloved novel is envisioned as an intimate celebration of resilience and the enduring strength of women. Featuring a sweeping indie folk score by The Kilbanes and an imaginative libretto by Noah Brody, this poignant adaptation traces the immigrant experience on the Great Plains at the turn of the 20th century through the eyes of the lifelong friendship between orphan boy Jim Burden and Ántonia Shimerda, daughter of a Bohemian immigrant family. My Ántonia offers a timely celebration of the contributions of immigrants to the nation’s identity and spirit as America marks its 250th anniversary. Rooted in the land and shaped by memory, this powerful work invites us to consider how we remember our past, and whose stories we choose to tell.

NEW MUSICALS IN THE MAKING!
Become a part of Theater Latté Da’s commitment to the next generation of the Great American Musical! Theater Latté Da’s NEXT Festival of New Musicals showcases three works that stretch the boundaries of musical storytelling. The creators of each Festival show culminate two weeks of workshop time with two public presentations, providing audience members the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of the creative process. Following each performance is an in-depth conversation with the playwrights, composers, and lyricists.
With gratitude to our NEXT Festival Sponsor Gary Reetz, with Festival Partners Jean & Jim Hartman, Linda Svitak & David Feroe, Walter Tambor & Barry Berg, Judy Schwartau and John Sullivan
