TheaterWorks Hartford, under the leadership of Artistic Director Rob Ruggiero and Managing Director Jeff Griffin, presents WOODY SEZ: The Life and Music of Woody Guthrie, devised by David M. Lutkin with Nick Corley, and Darcie Deaville, Helen J. Russell, and Andy Teirstein. This cheerful musical portrait of Woody Guthrie runs from July 13-28. Tickets are now on sale at twhartford.org. This performance is not part of the 23/24 season.
Legendary folk hero Woody Guthrie defined an American era of social consciousness and political expressions with songs like “This Land is Your Land.” He gave voice to a restless and profoundly American search for freedom. Woody comes to life in this joyous, toe-tapping musical portrait that captures the heart and spirit of America’s great folk troubadour.
Featuring four amazingly talented actor-musicians, Sam Sherwood (Woody Guthrie), David Finch, Nyssa Grant, and Helen J. Russell, performing 
over 25 of his classic songs – discover why Woody’s considered the “patron saint of American rebelliousness” and how he paved the way for musicians like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Jeff Tweedy, and more.
The additional creative team for WOODY SEZ includes Luke Cantarella (set design), Jeffrey Meek (costume design), Seth Reiser (lighting design), and Tom Kosis (stage manager).
The performance schedule is Tuesdays through Thursdays at 7:30pm, Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 2:30 pm and 8pm, and Sundays at 2:30pm. Tickets are priced between $35-50.
On Sunday, July 14, 21, and 28, the cast and crew will perform Hootenannies – free concerts… after the show. Alll are welcome. Bring your favorite instrument!
