Outdoor Community Theater Performance
The 9th Annual Meander Upper Minnesota River Arts Crawl will celebrate its Opening Night on Friday, October 5th with two performances of a special outdoor “walking theater” play highlighting the 11,000 year history of the Minnesota River in 45 minutes through the voices of local actors and musicians.
Two performances of the play Granite Falls: A Meandering River Walk will be held at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Main Street Granite Falls. The audience will follow the actors as they walk along the river, tell stories, dance and sing songs. The event is free and open to the public and is an opening ceremony for the Meander Weekend which showcases the entire Upper Minnesota River Valley and all the art, culture and natural beauty it has to offer.
Volunteers from the Montevideo and Granite Falls area are the actors for the play written by Andrew Gaylord who based the play on interviews with local people about the history of Granite Falls and the cast of characters who have lived along the Minnesota River which runs through the heart of downtown.
