ORPHAN TRAIN: AN AMERICAN MELODRAMA
a World Premiere by Dennis E. North
April 12, 2001 – June 16, 2001
The 1920′s and ’30′s were difficult times with families losing their farms to foreclosure and bankruptcy. During that period, a train crossed the heartland with a mission of placing orphan children with new families, offering hope for a new beginning. Somewhere along this altruistic passage of uniting the children with a promising future, corruption and greed threatened to derail their happiness. A heart-warming story unfolds about good vs. evil in a world premiere suitable for the whole family.
