THE STORY
With a score by Leonard Bernstein, Wonderful Town tells the story of two
sisters, Ruth and Eileen, who move from a rural town in Ohio to experience the
bright lights, the big city, and the crazy characters of Greenwich Village, New York City. Ruth is an aspiring writer and Eileen is a dancer who wants to pursue a life on stage. One sister can’t find a man no matter what she does, the other can’t keep them away. Together, these two sisters take on the world.
WONDERFUL TOWN runs in the Jarson Kaplan Theater at the Aronoff Center for the Arts, November 4, 5, 6, and November 9, 10, 11, and 12th!
