Musical at a Glance:
The story is based on the death of Floyd Collins near Cave City, Kentucky in the winter of 1925. Floyd Collins, exploring Sand Cave, uses the echoes of his voice to sound out the region, and falls through a tight passageway when his foot became trapped, wedged in position by a small rock. His family and his fellow cavers try to free him; when it becomes clear that his rescue will not be easy, his brother Homer spends the night in the cave with him. William Burke "Skeets" Miller, a small man, is able to squeeze through and visit with Floyd, relaying stories which were printed in the news. Despite efforts by miners, the National Guard and the Red Cross, attempts at rescue fail, and the crowd grows outside the cave as a media circus ensues. Seventeen days after Floyd had entered the cave, a shaft finally reaches him. He had died three days earlier.
SPCPA provides its students opportunities to perform in professional venues, as appropriate. We thank you in advance for purchasing a ticket to this showing. Revenue from ticket sales directly helps to offset the cost of using this professional venue.
