"QUILTERS is a show pieced together with love and stitched with pride...a thing of beauty, comfort and joy" -NY Post

The story, told through a series of quilt blocks, utilizes music, dance and drama to depict the lot of women on the frontier.  In the end, when the various patches are assembled into one glorious, brilliantly colorful quilt, the effect is both breathtaking and magical.

With Award winning director and teacher Larry Wood as the artistic director, H.I.S. Company will open its inaugural season with a production of Quilters in October. Set to coincide with the Houston International Quilt Festival, a lobby display show and sale by local quilting groups will be featured. Auditions will be held in early August for the cast of 7 women and 4 musicians.

THE STORY: Ostensibly the story of a pioneer woman and her six daughters, QUILTERS blends a series of interrelated scenes into a rich mosaic which captures the sweep and beauty, the terror and joy, the harsh challenge and abiding rewards of frontier life. Illuminating stories contained in various patches or "blocks" with music, dance and drama, the action depicts the lot of women on the frontier: girlhood, marriage, childbirth, spinsterhood, twisters, fire, illness and death. But, with this, there is also love, warmth, rich and lively humor and the moving spectacle of simple human dignity and steadfastness in the face of adversity. In the end, when the various patches are assembled into one glorious, brilliantly colorful quilt, the effect is both breathtaking and magical—and a theatrical masterstroke which will linger in the mind and memory long after the house lights have dimmed.
