Join us for a performance of the musical, Woody Guthrie's American Song, at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, and a talk about Woody Guthrie's Jewish life and music. Married to Martha Graham dancer, Margorie Mazia, Woody Guthrie moved to Brooklyn in 1942 and soon, through his mother-in-law, the renowned Yiddish poet Aliza Greenblat, became involved with the Coney Island Jewish community and wrote songs about Hanukkah, Jewish History and spiritual life and about WW II and the anti-fascist cause.
