Theater Alliance presents Woody Guthrie’s American Song — a bold celebration of the music that shaped America, brought to life through a vibrant, diverse cast and Theater Alliance’s award-winning, justice-driven artistry. Guthrie’s music—rooted in working-class stories, migration, and the sounds of America—is reimagined with contemporary energy, inclusive spirit, and joyful solidarity.

Note that chairs/seating will be allowed only in the upper tiers at the park amphitheater. The ground level and first tier will be reserved for blankets and on-the-ground seating, both to maximize sight lines and sufficient seating for all. Further, please place chairs you bring sufficiently in front of and behind the built-in amphitheater seating so that seating can be utilized by guests. Ushers will be on site to help seat people so we can maximize the space for what we anticipate will be large crowds.
