"Although Laura's story is prevalent, there actually are not that many scripts available for community theater," said the show's director, Dale Schrag. "This script, written by Kathryn Schultz Miller, was the best."

"They performed this at our school and it was like going back in time and re-living childhood. Fantastic performance!"
Gina Timmons Law, Audience Member St. Louis Performance"This script blends contemporary history with her story. The play starts during the Civil War, with the division of the North and South, while also setting the scene of a little house in Wisconsin and a girl named Laura. It gives a lot of understanding to the western migration."
