THE ROOT RIVER ANTHOLOGY is performing artist Catherine Glynn's newest devised theatrical creation. Inspired by Our Town, Under Milk Wood, The Spoon River Anthology and a recent news-story on NPR, this play takes place after an epic flood has hit Southeastern Minnesota. Set in a fictional town along the Root River, one of the remaining undamaged structures is the community's lone public phone booth that washed up into the yard of a local farmer. What ensues are conversations in the phone booth that connect the living, the dead and those in between. Told with humor, engaging storytelling and a tinge of heartache, THE ROOT RIVER ANTHOLOGY will introduce a wide range of lively characters who may just remind you of the importance of staying connected to one another.
In addition to writing the play, Glynn is offering free workshops to the public in storytelling, monologue writing and movement.
