New to SummerStage is the process of “workshopping” new works. A workshop is the beginning of any fully realized production.With no set, no theatrical lighting, no costumes and with scripts in hand, the focus is placed on the words or “foundation.” SummerStage invites you to be part of the journey that leads to a complete work. The show will be presented to a panel of writers and followed by a short Q & A. The musical, Nanyehi, Beloved Woman of the Cherokee, shares the story of Nancy Ward, whom the Cherokee held in high regard, first as a war heroine and later as a woman of peace. Free and open to the public.
