Spoon River
Based on Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters
Adaptation by Tom Isbell and Andy Kust
University of Minnesota Duluth
Marshall Performing Arts Center Mainstage
Design Statement
The world of Spoon River captures a poetic essence of the real world. These characters bring their stories to life on the hill where they now sleep eternally. None of the nine chairs onstage are the same; like the people, their lives and their headstones on the hill. The world provides an open space for each individual to share the stories of their past.
