SIGNIFICANCE

Loosely based on the Native American vision quest and overlooked relevance of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Exploring the ambition of shaping a new nation from many cultures, the musical highlights key discoveries of the slave, York, the guide, Sacagewea and the Native American communities who made their achievements possible.

One of the musical's workshops is documented in a documentary film brought together multi-cultural artists and communities filling theaters in New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago. As an Outreach Program, it spawned residencies, workshops and presentation with diverse partners, educational institutions and Museums.
