Whither thou Goest: The Story of Ruth - Sat 2pm

Whither Thou Goest: The Story of Ruth is based on the Book of Ruth from the Bible and is set in The Great Depression of the 1930s in the poor coal mining town of Bethlehem, West Virginia. The score is a compilation of old gospel hymns played in a bluegrass style and performed live featuring Jonah Powell on fiddle and mandolin, Angelo Meli on guitar, Crispin Campbell on cello, Joe Wilson on dobro and Andy Evans on upright bass. Period costumes, amazing sets and Thomas Morrell's eclectic choreography combine to unite old world biblical times with 20th Century Americana in this timeless tale of faith and devotion. This talented 32-member youth ballet company will transform the Milliken Auditorium stage into a remarkable time in our history. The ballet is a performance not to be missed.
