Given a choice, most of them would have stayed in the Salt Lake Valley. Harder yet, after having started a home in the valley, was being called to start over again away from Salt Lake. Perhaps the hardest of all was being called to Dixie in Southern Utah. Cottonwood is about one family&#8217;s feelings when being asked to leave their home in Cottonwood and go south to Washington County. In a more general sense it is a story about people who, because of their allegiance to a grand cause, stronger than any commitment to personal comfort and security, experience isolation and longings for home. A sensation in it&#8217;s premiere performances at Promised Valley Playhouse in Salt Lake City, &#8220;Once I Lived In Cottonwood&#8221; is now available for production by Wards and Stakes.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PLAY DETAILS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>7male 6female + ensemble<\/li>\n<li>Open staging<\/li>\n<li>Pioneer Costumes<\/li>\n<li>2 hrs<\/li>\n<li><strong>ORDER #2046<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PERUSAL MATERIALS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>PERUSAL PAGES<\/strong> file (in PDF format) is available below.\u00a0The PDF file contains Acts One &amp; Two of this 3-act musical:<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/OnceILivedInCottonwood-PERUSAL.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18790\" src=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Perusal-Script-300x94.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"211\" height=\"66\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>SONG TITLES<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ACT ONE<br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0#l\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0ONCE I LIVED IN COTTONWOOD\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Ballad Singer<\/strong><br \/>\nScene 1 \u2013 LDS Meeting House \u2013 Spring of 1863<br \/>\nScene 2 \u2013 A Pasture of Will Larson&#8217;s farm<br \/>\nScene 3 \u2013 Another pasture and the same pasture<br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0#2\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0WHAT SHALL I DO?\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Tom Hicks<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0#3\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0FEELING HUMBLE\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Will Larson<\/strong><br \/>\nScene\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a04 \u2013 A continuation of previous scene<br \/>\nScene\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a05 \u2013 The following day In the living room of the Larson Home.<br \/>\nScene\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a06 \u2013 A continuation of previous scene<br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0#4\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0WALTZ\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Bonnie &amp; Jenny<\/strong><br \/>\nScene\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a07 \u2013 Outside the Larson Home<br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0#5\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0THE COTTON MISSION\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Finn, Robert, Fred &amp; Friends<\/strong><br \/>\nScene 8 \u2013 Somewhere on the Larson Farm<br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0#6\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I CAN LOOK OUT TONIGHT\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Jenny &amp; Luke<\/strong><br \/>\nScene 9 \u2013 Backyard of the Larson home<br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0#7\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0WANDERERS\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Tom &amp; Bonnie<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>ACT TWO<br \/>\nScene 1 \u2013 The Larson Barn<br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0#8\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0SQUARE DANCE\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Fred and Company<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0#9\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0SOAP\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Fred, Will &amp; Company<\/strong><br \/>\nScene 2 \u2013 The Cooper Kitchen<br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0#10\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0MEN ARE ALL ALIKE\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Bonnie, Malt &amp; Women<\/strong><br \/>\nScene 3 \u2013 An orchard<br \/>\nScene 4 The Larson Bedroom &amp; home<br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0#11 NIGHTMARE MUSIC\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Instrumental<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0#12 WAS MISSOURI JUST A DREAM?
