1. The Story

Folk Wandering produced by Pipeline Theatre Company, focuses on three stories of women throughout American History. 1911 - Rosealia dreams of a better life. 1933 - Kai struggles to keep her daughter safe. 1955 - Hannah finally fights for herself. This ensemble of characters play different characters throughout each of the stories, intertwined together through knick knacks in an attic. Set to a score arranged by Mike Brun and Joel Esher, Folk Wander, musically warns America to learn from the past. 

2. The Scenic Design

I am a sucker for a good scenic design, and the moment I walked in, I knew I was going to love this show. The eclectic attic is a perfect arena for props to hide right in plain sight. You start to wonder, what props will be used and which are just there as dressing. 

3. Stand Out Performers

From the moment that Lena Hudson entered the stage, I knew she was going to provide a stunning performance. As Roselia, Lena captured the essence of a young girl, dreaming of what her future looks like, through a career and through love.

Morgan Siobhan Green has a voice like no other. Portraying Hannah, she cuts ties with a James Dean impersonator that a small town idolizes. She doesn’t even have the double maple on her pancakes. Hannah decides that some of these memories in the attic is what holds America back. She starts the movement to chuck memories and rid the group of pain. It’s a proclamation for a better tomorrow. 

Seth Clayton has a wide range of skills. From playing a newly immigrated American, to a mute barkeep, to a wacky-kooky radio announcer, he supports each of the stories in a driving way. During group dance breaks, you can tell that Seth knows his moves.
