Spoon River Anthology
The Madrone Theatre Company
Rogue Theater, Medford Oregon, October 2016

In his 1915 masterpiece, Spoon River Anthology, Edgar Lee Masters created "epitaphs" for hundreds of colorful and mostly fictional personalities in an imaginary small town in Illinois.

One century later, the Madrone Theatre Company brought fifty of these unforgettable characters to life and Chad Worcester created a wonderful full-length video from several live performances.
