Man’s Greatness of Heart and Spirit: A Grapes of Wrath Readers Theatre

Friday, April 11, 2008, 7:30 PM, Historic Atlas Theatre

John Steinbeck’s moving, Pulitzer Prize winning novel, adapted by Frank Galati as a Readers Theatre. This passionate story of the plight of the poor, who have displaced by the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression centers on the Joad family as they travel to California from Oklahoma in hopes of finding a better life. It forms a context for programs adopted under the New Deal to address economic and social issues of the time. Historic photos of Wyoming during the Great Depression and the New Deal illustrate impacts of this era on our state. A discussion follows the reading. Directed by Keith Thomson. Funded in part with a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts through the Wyoming Arts Council, Dept. of State Parks and Cultural Resources.
