AUSTIN PLAYHOUSE PRESENTS

THE BATTLEFIELDS OF CLARA BARTON

July 11-13 at 7:30 p.m. | Stateside at the Paramount

Austin Playhouse announces a workshop production of the new musical The Battlefields of Clara Barton by Suzan Zeder and Jenn Hartmann Luck. Directed by Lara Toner Haddock with Music Direction by Lena Gabrielle, this concert version workshop will play Stateside at the Paramount July 11-13, 2021.

The Battlefields of Clara Barton is a folk/rock/historical/contemporary musical about the life of Clara Barton; Civil War nurse, political activist, revered founder of the American Red Cross. In a tumultuous life that spanned almost a century, Clara fought on many battlefields: historical, political, and emotional. Clara’s story is brought to vibrant life by an ensemble of women, playing multiple roles, where age and gender are fluid. Diverse means of storytelling captures the chaos and complexity of the times. The threads of Clara’s life run from past to present with seamless synchronicity, creating a rich tapestry of themes as personal and potent today as they were in Clara’s times.

Tickets start at $32.00 plus taxes and fees.
