On a quiet farm in America’s heartland, an immigrant Italian war bride becomes an Iowan housewife. That is, until a National Geographic photographer seeking directions to the area’s historic covered bridges knocks on her door. As she helps him find the locations for the photo shoots, an unexpected, yet powerful connection grows. A sweeping romance about the roads we travel, the doors we open and the bridges we dare to cross will leave audiences breathless. *The Bridges of Madison County* is a Tony-award winning and Northeast Ohio local premiere.
