Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to forgetting who the godfather of folk music is, Arizona Theater Company stages a musical that honors the man’s legacy. Woody Guthrie’s American Song charts both the folk singer’s life and Guthrie’s deep fondness for his country while spinning a tale of America. The show has toured the country for more than a decade and was reviewed by the New York Times, which said the musical, told in story and in Guthrie’s music, “manages to find both the high beauty and the earthy humor of Guthrie’s love affair with America.”
