A poignant, lyrical celebration of land, love, and the American immigrant experience
1920. Inge Altenberg journeys to America to marry a bachelor farmer, sight unseen. But in the wake of WWI, Inge’s German heritage turns her new neighbors against the match. Under cathedral skies, the determined young immigrant and her stoic farmer fight for their lives, facing their own misgivings and the harshness of an unforgiving land. A lyrical celebration of hard-won independence and a reflection of generations past, Sweet Land reminds us of who we are - and where we came from.

Additional information
Please arrive by:
* Please plan to arrive by 9:30am (half hour before showtime) in order to have plenty of time to find parking, check in with the organizer, visit the bathrooms and otherwise be prepared for our group to be seated promptly. Please plan to be early to avoid being late due to inadequate maps, confusing road signs, road construction, heavy traffic, parking difficulties, inclement weather or uncooperative children. * Seats are determined on day of the show. Seating is dependent on when group is ready to be seated and our group will not be seated until everyone is present. Groups are seated in the order that their Group Check-In Pass is presented to the Check-In Usher. Once the organizer has the Group Check-In Pass, the group will proceed upstairs in a single file line. Wait at the top of the stairs for the Check-In Usher to lead our group to the entrance to the theatre in a single file line to be seated. * Seats cannot be saved. Everyone in the group should take the seats the ushers indicate. CTC aims to keep groups together but groups may be split between rows. If certain adults need to be with certain children, those adults should be standing next to those children in the single file line. If they are separated during the seating process, they should take the seats indicated and rearranged their seating within the group only after the entire group has been seated.
