Harbor City International School will present My Antonia on Wednesday, March 16, at 7 PM.  The theater is located on the second floor of the school at 332 W. Michigan Street.  Admission is a free-will donation!

Illusion Theater and playwright Allison Moore will bring Willa Cather’s vibrant character of Antonia to life with a statewide tour of the award-winning show, My Antonia. Harbor City International School presents this critically acclaimed production locally, funded in part by the Minnesota arts and cultural heritage fund.

Performance Description:  In 1918, Willa Cather made the gutsy choice to write about the 1880’s European immigrants who came here to make their American dreams come true.  They endured bitter winters and struggled to make things grow in the hard scrabble soil of the windswept Nebraska prairie.  Moore’s new adaptation is told through the memories of narrator Jim Burden, who after 20 years of living in the East returns to his small prairie town to see Antonia, the Czech immigrant girl who shaped his understanding of life. The story is wrapped up in an environment of the changing prairie created by the actors, set and sound.
