Description
Sweet Land-History Theatre
DETROIT LAKES, MN – The Ivey Award-winning History Theatre brings their hit production of Sweet Land, the musical to the Historic Holmes Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m.
Follow the story of Inge Altenberg as she journeys to America to marry a bachelor farmer, sight unseen. In the wake of WWI, Inge’s German heritage turns her new neighbors against the match. Under cathedral skies, the determined young immigrant and her stoic farmer fight for their lives, facing their own misgivings and the harshness of an unforgiving land. A lyrical celebration of hard-won independence and a reflection of generations past, Sweet Land, the musical reminds us of who we are - and where we came from.
This musical is adapted from Ali Selim’s gorgeous film Sweet Land, which was inspired by Minnesota author Will Weaver’s beautiful short story A Gravestone Made of Wheat. Will Weaver will also be at the Holmes on Oct. 7 for a memoir writing workshop from 10 a.m. to Noon. This workshop is open to all. Interested persons can contact the Holmes box office to register for this $20 class.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
