Guthrie Theater

This summer an American story sings as the Guthrie presents Little House on the Prairie the musical. Based on Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved books, this world premiere brings life on the prairie from page to stage with unforgettable music. As the Ingalls family settles in DeSmet, South Dakota, the independent teenager Laura and her sisters quickly learn the joys and hardships of growing up under the big blue sky. When Laura leaves home to make the ultimate sacrifice for her family, she learns an invaluable life lesson - Giving is always more rewarding than receiving when it comes to love.
