"A deathless barroom ode to rural upper Michigan"--Ann Arbor News
Whether you're new to the area and you're looking for Michigan's heart or a long time fan of Michigan's favorite homegrown folk musical, you'll want to be front and center for Jay Stielstra's North Country Opera. Upon a story of a romance hatched in a bar on the shores of Lake Superior hang the finest songs ever written about Michigan's rivers and north woods. This 20th-anniversary production of North Country Opera will refresh great memories for those who've packed houses for productions of the show all over Michigan--and will get you ready for a whole new set of memories: Stielstra has written a follow-up, North Country Opera Continued, which will be presented at The Ark in May of 2003.http://www.a2ark.org/

See you There!
