n 1911, Rosealia dreams of a better life.
In 1933, Kai struggles to keep her daughter safe.
In 1955, Hannah finally fights for herself.

Folk Wandering is a sweeping new musical conjured from the hearts and minds of Jaclyn Backhaus (Men on Boats), Andrew Neisler (Charlatan, Clown Bar), and nine emerging singer-songwriters. This expansive story investigates the making and breaking of the American dream across three bygone generations.

Pipeline Theatre Company and their band of troubadours presents an awakening of the hope, heartache, and longing that binds us all together.

additional music & lyrics by Blake Allen, Jaclyn Backhaus, Mike Brun, Andrew R. Butler, Joel Esher, Jo Lampert, Barrie McLain, Annie Tippe and Dominique Toney
