Sweet Land, the musical<br />
Land, the musical” is onstage at the Worthington<br />
Memorial Auditorium. The show will start at 7<br />
“Sweet<br />
p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 15.<br />
The show follows Inge Altenberg’s journeys to America to<br />
marry a bachelor farmer, sight unseen. But in the wake of<br />
WWI, Inge’s German heritage turns her new neighbors against<br />
the match. Under cathedral skies, the determined young immigrant<br />
and her stoic farmer fight for their lives, facing their<br />
own misgivings and the harshness of an unforgiving land. A<br />
lyrical celebration of hard-won independence and a reflection<br />
of generations past, Sweet Land reminds us of who we are—<br />
and where we came from.<br />
