*Cast*



Actors’ Summit, Akron’s Equity professional theater, has announced the cast
for the first show of its 13th season.  *Woody Guthrie’s American
Song*traces the life of the American troubadour who gave a passionate
voice to
America during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl.  Based on the songs &
writings by Woody Guthrie, the play was conceived and adapted by Peter
Glazer, whose father had played with Woody.  The play will have a four week
run at Greystone Hall in downtown Akron from October 6 through the 30th.



Unlike other productions of this play, the Actors’ Summit production has no
pit orchestra.  All of the musical accompaniment is provided by a talented
cast of eight actor/singer/musicians.

productions than any other actor.

frequent performer with Actors’ Summit.

with the theater.  His first single with his band will be for sale on Itunes
