The musical is based on the play Green Grow the Lilacs by Lynn Riggs and takes place at the turn of the 20th century. Audience members follow a high-spirited rivalry between farmers and cowboys in this touching and gripping story about falling in love, dreams and nightmares, and the promise and exuberance of a new land on the verge of statehood.
