​​LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE

Play Synopsis

Through the magic of live theatre, the musical follows the Ingalls family’s journey westward and settlement in South Dakota where Ma and Pa Ingalls hoped to make a better life for their children. It tells the story of their struggle to keep their land claim. In story, song and dance, we see the Ingalls suffering the hardships of winter blizzards and prairie fires as well as rejoicing in the settlement of land and town. Most of all, the story follows Laura as she grows from the wild child who loved to run free into a woman who embraces the responsibilities of her own future while struggling to remain true to herself.

A Message from Our Directing Team!

“ECT’s production of Little House on the Prairie the Musical is fully casted and rehearsals are well underway.  Our talented Musical Director Zoe Clemens has been working hard on both large 3- and 4-part harmonies for ensemble songs as well as smaller groups and solos.  The cast is having a blast working together, lots of fun and laughter but no shortage of hard work.  Our choreographer Marilyn Abraham has started the choreography and with the leadership of our Director Acey Kaspar and the rest of the crew we have begun rehearsing specific scenes.  Thank you to the Shaw Family for working alongside Zoe Clemens and David Tanner to produce and record the music for our production!”
