Carlisle Floyds Susannah May 2, 2010

Carlisle Floyds musical drama is a timeless exploration of intolerance, jealousy, and human fallibility. A backwoods Tennessee community turns on the free-spirited outsider Susannah when she is spied unaware, bathing in the baptismal river, by men of the congregation. Based on the Apocryphal biblical tale of Susanna and the Elders, and relocated to the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee in the 1950s, this modern American folk opera uses bluegrass fiddle tunes as musical inspiration to tell a tale of lust, bigotry, seduction, betrayal and revenge.Tickets:Adult: $20Student: $5Seniors (65+): $15Children (under 12): $10
