Mountains in My Stride

Overview

Mountains in My Stride is an indelibly American folk play of Missouri, 1830.

Veteran frontiersman Jason Hunt, slated for Congress, finds his destiny blocked by his love for Ruth, a young, fear-rooted Bostonian; while her cousin, Hannah, struggles to free herself of binding traditions, to love freely.  Blunder, an odd free spirit, raised by Pawnee, snared now by mercenary Sary, startles to find himself through his own native vision quest, which frees them all.
